The story sounds really captivating and I am genuinely interested in how Leroy deals with the angry toolbox.The fact that children are taught diligence, responsibility and how to be considerate is a great bonus. Great review

The book certainly presents a delightful way to communicate the importance of a happy and position attitude as well as the downsides of unchecked anger. Thank you for the analysis.

Sounds like a fascinating book for the little ones. They can have a good story time with the book while learning very worthy lessons about being responsible, considerate and negative effects of anger. I'd say not only little ones but also the adults will enjoy this book. Congrats on BOTD!!

The topics this book deals with — positive attitude, and second chances — are vital for a child's holistic development. Besides the usual education imparted to young students, these topics should be taught in schools too.

Hmmm, interesting. Seeing it's a children book that talks about the theme of the effect of attitude add good light. I think it's full of moral lessons. May be wise to take a look.

I agree with the review that this is a fascinating book for teaching young children good values. After reading the sample pages on Amazon, I find myself interested in reading it for myself. I think adults would learn much from this tale and will find much pleasure in reading it to or with the younger children.

Our attitude determines many things in life. I think the very angry toolbox had to change it's behavior after all. I'd be happy to read this children's book to kids and also read it myself. Congratulations on BOTD!

Good children books are books that teach about how to be positive in life. The very angry toolbox is all about how Leroy can see be resilient and diligent despite the negativities in his life. His grandfather and father had help to show him the way. Thanks for your review.

The notion of an "angry" toolbox is interesting because this inanimate object usually lacks emotion. Since it intrigued an adult like me, I'm sure children will also be fascinated by the premise of the children's story. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

The author uses an angry toolbox to teach the reader the impact that attitude has on a person. I believe this is a very important lesson for children to learn early.
