I love a children's book with life lessons. How would Leroy deal with getting the angry toolbox? Would he be able to change his attitude towards life?

It is true that attitude is very important in life. I like that Leroy encountered many colourful and happy toolboxes that he liked and tried to help the angry toolbox.

Controlling anger might be difficult, but for a child to teach this is very commendable. This will be a good book for character development. Thank you for your review!

This book not only speaks to personality check bit it also helps us in understanding how our attitudes affect others. The Very Angry Tool Box identified different emotions that affect people on a day to day basis and shows how one can feel if they are left in a position where they consider themselves to be of no value.

This sounds like a cute story that teaches children about the effects that our attitude has on us and those around us. I know many adults could do with the same lesson. Thank you for the helpful review.

Yes, attitude really matters. But I think children would not truly understand this book and its intricacies unless an adult, who understands it, explains it to them. Nonetheless, a very well-written review!

Thanks for the wonderful review. From the sample of this book, I really enjoyed it too. I'm curious to know if Leroy goes ahead chooses the angry toolbox and why the angry toolbox was angry all of the time. I agree it has many useful lessons for children in it, whether it is being read to them or they can read it themselves.
