Clovis Keeps His Cool
I was searching for a book that would serve as a good example to my kids (who are now throwing tantrums on the regular) about what one should do when they get mad. Clovis Keeps His Cool is perfect! It's a charming picture book that teaches us that anger is a regular human emotion, but we shouldn't let it get the best of us. Highly recommend!

Great Plot and Character Development!
I recently bought this for my niece and nephew to read at bedtime. It is a little long, but the story is definitely worth it! There are good lessons about keeping calm when anger arises, bullying, and making friends. It's also a good read for adults as it is entertaining, funny, and a bit ironic.

Something for everyone in this charming book
The clever set-up of a bull in china shop gives us a good idea what this story will be about, along with the title. However, the thoughtful text and little details in the illustrations take this story to the next level. It begs to be read over and over again while poring over the pictures. It also contains valuable messages about bullying and managing emotions. Don't miss it!

We love Clovis!
I adore this book! Author Katelyn Aronson’s tale of a big bull who has to control his temper while working in his granny’s old china shop is charming, tender and so relatable. Clovis gently shows readers constructive ways to deal with anger and negative emotions throughout the story; but when he has an angry outburst, the message of grace that comes through is powerful and moving. This grace extends even further — as Clovis refuses to become a bully toward the hecklers who have been bothering him. This is just the kind of story I love to share with my kids as it acknowledges the depth of our emotions, the fact that we all make mistakes and the power of grace to change us all. Illustrator Eve Farb has created a perfectly endearing Clovis. This is definitely a book we’ll read again and again!

Beautiful portrayal of keeping your cool!
I love this book, the art is beautiful and the message even more so. It teaches kids how to keep calm even when starting to feel angry. It also touches on bullying and how to keep calm in the face of someone trying to get a rise out of you. I recommend this book for parents and teachers alike.
