About this title

About the Author:

Satoshi Kitamura was born in Tokyo and worked in advertising there before moving to London in 1980. He won the Mother Goose Award for Angry Arthur and he is now one of the most distinguished illustrators in Britain, having created over 20 books for children.

Review:

Here, perfectly captured in a picture book, are all the stages of a tantrum. The protagonist, Arthur, is peaceful, then defiant, then angry. He wreaks havoc in dark watercolor illustrations. Lightning strikes and winds blow. Throughout, Arthur's fierce scowl is most fearsome. Eventually, he winds down, and the storm subsides. APPROVED -- From Parents' Choice®
