Why I Love this Book: Julia Cook is one of my favorite authors and if you haven't stocked up on her books, you need to right now. This one, like many of her others, is perfect for a guidance counseling lesson. Lester has a temper! His friends all know this, so they stay away from him, afraid he might blow his bottle cap. His dad helps him learn some different strategies to control his anger and slowly release that pressure before it is too much. This book is great for conversations about what makes us mad or upset and how we can diffuse that anger before it's too late.
