Walker Finn Throws A Fit

When Finn throws a fit, thunder roars, hurricanes rage, blizzards blow. When Finn throws a fit, an earthquake shakes the world. Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1--Anyone who has ever had a bad day will recognize this scenario. After his mother makes the innocent mistake of asking her son if he would like some peaches, she watches as his mood goes from cranky to downright earthshaking. The illustrations, done in a messy mix of charcoal, oil paint, and grease pencil, capture the angry energy of the tantrum. Similar to David Shannon's "David" books (Scholastic), Finn is less mischievous and more prone to meltdowns. Overall, the book is fun and captures the essence of a cranky toddler whose moods can change as fast as the weather.--Kate Neff, Alachua County Library, Gainesville, FL END --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
