Kay Ackerman Cully'S Tantrum

Annotation

Cully is a five-year-old boy who has been inside all day because of the wet and cold weather. He sees his new bike leaning against the garage wall and he becomes impatient to go and ride it. However, his mother says he cant because it is raining and cold so Cully throws a tantrum hoping to persuade his mother to change her mind. Cully then experiences a range of emotions throughout the course of the tantrum. There are suggestions for educators to guide children through Cullys experience and identify themselves in similar situations. Cullys Tantrum simply explores the power children can gain by identifying and understanding their emotions.
