(3) PS In this tickle-your-child-out-of-a-bad-mood book, wide-eyed tissue-paper-and-paint sea creatures embody and validate the child's bad mood ("a shark that wants to CHOMP on something squishy" snaps at a box of taffy) and provide cues for the adult reader who will help the child cheer up ("Today I'm a frog that goes kissy-kissy-kissy!"). Alliterative phrases ("tap-tap-toss") add read-aloud appeal.
