Bought for a shouty 3 year old, who laughed as he realised that is exactly what he was like, so we turned a shouty day into a laughing day instead. Today I woke up and Bob was crawling around MY ROOM, licking MY JEWELLERY, so I shouted GET OUT OF MY ROOM! My Big Shouting Day by Rebecca Patterson "Today I woke up and Bob was crawling around MY ROOM, licking MY JEWELLERY, so I shouted GET OUT OF MY ROOM! To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Bella is having one of those days - her biscuit is broken, she has a hurting foot and ballet is TOOOO itchy for words.

But it isn't until the last page that Bella's mother makes any attempt to help her work through her feelings, while at the same time being implausibly patient. My children don't empathise with Bella not because they haven't had tantrums – believe me, they have – but because it's all just a little too realistic, without any humour thrown in for good measure. Displaying the full force of toddler hormones, she refuses to eat her breakfast egg, throws off her shoes, yells in the supermarket, and lies down in the pavement, refusing to move.

But Mum gives her a kiss and a cuddle, and reads Bella her favourite bedtime story anyway and at last Bella says 'sorry' for her big shouting day.

Great for teaching little ones that if they're having a tricky day, it will pass, and mummy will be there for them for a cuddle when they're ready. and that was the start of MY BIG SHOUTING DAY…”Bella is having one of those days – her biscuit is broken, she has a hurting foot and ballet is TOOOO itchy for words.

She was engrossed in the story and there were lots of opportunities to further discussion and relate to her own experiences. This hilarious rhyming book by Kes Gray and illustrated by Garry Parsons is a brilliantly silly one to share, especially at bedtime in the run up to Christmas.

It has become iconic for us, and so helpful for helping toddlers/pre-schoolers and those that encounter them, understand that we all have ‘big shouting days’ sometimes, and that’s ok. And it’s a lovely way to unwind after a shouty day of your own, perfect for talking about feelings and how we all have off days. Other than that it’s just a brilliant story, with an opportunity to use different volumes of your own!
