Finn Throws A Fit!. David Elliott (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
I'm not sure who will enjoy this book more, the kid or the parent. A book that any parent or child-care provider will understand maybe more than the child. Finn throws a fit and on this day the fit is lightning in the kitchen, avalanches, tidal waves through the living room, hurricanes in the dining room and blizzards in the bathroom. It's an earth-shattering fit until it ends and Finn wants his peaches. Finn is having a bad moment, and his parents feel the wrath of his storm of emotions. Thunder, a blizzard and earthquakes only begin to describe the effects wreaked by the toddler. And, just like that, his tantrum ends and all is well again. Though the use of weather and natural disasters is an interesting concept, the overall feel of this book is tired: the concept, the art style and the denouement have all been done before. It's well done, but a secondary purchase.
What do You think about Finn Throws A Fit!. David Elliott (2009)?
I like the fun, sketchy violence of the pictures and the story was alright, but not super great.
