In Storytime, this is one of those books where it gets completely quiet at the climax of the story. This books goes step-by-step through a day that is not going great for the main character to the point where she gets angry. The illustrations depict her stuffy growing forty feet, and she damages a playground swing. But it resolves with the help of her empathetic friends, and she cleans up what she breaks. A great book showing young children tough emotions.
