Description
What happens when we take our excitement a little too far? It can be too much of a good thing! Readers discover this as they follow along with the story of Eddie Excitement—an adorably illustrated character who helps them understand what excitement feels like in their body, what it looks like in action, and how it can cause problems if it gets a little out of control. This monster’s job is to give readers the tools to cope with big feelings and to see that they’re nothing to be afraid of.

This book is such a good book to teach kids how to manage their big emotions. In this case, the emotion of focus was excitement/overexcitement. I don't have anything bad to say about the story or the plot, except one little thing. There was a clear beginning and middle, but the ending felt like it came abruptly. I think there should have been one more page or two to tie up the whole story because I was really into the story, and then it just ended, and it definitely caused some confusion. Maybe the last page could be Eddie's teacher praising him for using his tools to keep his excitement under control? That's the only critique I have for the story itself.
Now for the visuals. They were really cute and colorful, which worked really well for this book! There was just a little detail that I found odd. The other emotions (sadness, anxiety, and anger) originally had frowns or scowls on their faces when we are first introduced to them. For the rest of the story, though, all of these emotions (mainly sadness) have smiles on their faces. This felt weird because it took the personality/uniqueness away from the characters, even though it gave a positive tone to the story. In other words, shouldn't Suki Sadness be frowning? Shouldn't Albus Anger be scowling?
Other than my two critiques, I thought that this book was great and I enjoyed reading it!
