Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An illustrated collection of thought-provoking stories about how anger doesn''t always have to be angry, with illustrations from Marc Boutavant.
In ten thoughtful, philosophical, absurd tales by master storyteller Toon Tellegen, the forest animals--from squirrel to scarab beetle--spend their days as friends do, with birthday parties, writing letters, visiting, dancing, or sometimes all alone. Each day brings emotions that are always worth exploring, although not always easy, and each story reveals new layers through the expressive, touching and funny illustrations of Marc Boutavant.
This wry and nuanced illustrated storybook gently shows that anger, in all its shapes and sizes, is a natural, necessary and often misunderstood emotion. Written by one of the greatest Dutch authors for children, this wise and gently written collection is perfect for children wanting to explore and learn more about difficult emotions and feelings, making it an ideal book to read together with family or in the classroom, for readers aged 6-12 years.

Translation of "Is er dan niemand boos?"
The firebelly toad & the hedgehog -- The squirrel & the ant -- The snake -- The bear -- The squirrel & the elephant -- The praying mantis -- The ant -- The grasshopper -- The swan, the frog & the hedgehog -- The scarab.
"'Maybe we don't have it in us to get really angry," said the squirrel. The animals looked at each other and frowned. Nobody knew what Firebelly's anger felt like. Maybe it wasn't like their idea of anger at all. Maybe it was more like when they were happy! You never know, they thought...
