It started with a small problem in the morning, but then came another and then another.

Except this time, her Wobbler was real, hanging in the air right over her head! It grew and grew until it swallowed her up and the only thing Barbara could see or feel was the Wobbler. “Am I going to be stuck inside here forever? she cried. She thought and thought till she realized that she had made this Wobbler herself. If she made it, could she un-make it? Or will she be trapped inside her angry Wobbler forever? Read Barbara Throws a Wobbler to find out. A great book for kids about moods and tantrums, how they feel and what we can do about them.
