Milo the monkey is so angry! He wants a banana that’s high up in a tree, but he doesn’t want to go up alone. So he asks Turtle, but Turtle can’t climb; he can only walk on the ground. Zebra can’t climb, either, because she has hooves. Milo angrily stomps and stamps around the forest, shaking the trees. The birds hide in their nests, and the fish dive to the bottom of the pond to get away from the angry monkey. Then Milo sees Elephant and asks her to climb the tree with him—but Elephant informs Milo that she’s too big and heavy to climb trees. When Milo throws the biggest temper tantrum of all, Elephant makes a suggestion. Could it be the perfect solution? An ideal way to introduce children to strong emotions and how to recognize and handle them.
