Read Sometimes I'm Bombaloo by Rachel Vail. As you introduce the book and title, ask the children what they think it means to feel “bombaloo.” Encourage them to listen carefully to the story to see if they can figure out what it means, then pause while reading to see if the children can guess. After finishing the book, ask, “What makes you angry? What do you do when you feel upset? How do you stop being angry or calm yourself down?”
