Angry Ninja: A Children’s Book About Fighting and Managing Anger (Ninja Life Hacks)

Angry Ninja is a hit in our home and classroom! It gives kids a simple, relatable way to understand anger—and most importantly, what to do with it. The story is short, engaging, and filled with bright, expressive illustrations that hold kids’ attention. I love how it teaches coping strategies without being preachy. It helps normalize emotions and gives kids tools to handle them. Perfect for social-emotional learning, bedtime talks, or as a calm-down corner book. Part of a great series for building emotional smarts!

I'm so excited to share this book with my elementary school students. As a School Social Worker, I frequently work with students who struggle with anger and fighting. This is a great resource to add to my library, as it provides children with coping skills they can use to independently cope with frustrating events. I also love the fact that the book helps children identify changes in their body when they are feeling angry. Students love the rhyming prose, the bright, colorful pictures, and the relatable characters.

So one of my amazing children has ODD and it causes him to not be able to control his moods/feelings. So we practice different techniques and learn how to voice what our moods or feelings are. When I found this book series I thought, oh this might help him but also all my other kids. Because, kids no matter the age need to know how to help their moods. The illustrations in this book are amazing and colorful. It really draws your attention to the book. The text in this book is also equally amazing. They talk about how over times things start to make you more angry and over time it can cause you to blow up. Which for a kid with ODD that is often very common. Anyways, my kids really liked this story and actually we all practice using the technique they talk about in the book. I highly recommend checking this book out.

I liked how simple the book was written but I think there was a printing error there was another book inside the book! The second story was awesome too!

such a cute book. my 5 year old loved it

Reinforces important skills that have been taught about anger management. My son said that it is fun and he wants to do it again.

My 6 year old son has some issues controlling his anger. My wife bought this book to help him. He’s a smart kid and immediately knew why we bought him the book. Afraid our carefully laid ruse was falling asunder, we pressed on. This book quickly became his favorite bedtime read. He is getting better at controlling his emotions and though I can’t give this book all the credit, it seems to have played a small part.

Cute story! Wasn’t as captivating for my 5 year old as I hoped it would be, but the story does a good job trying to explain ways to handle anger.

It really outlines an anger meltdown with several realistic situations of things that really trigger kids. Great for kids to see they're not alone and this happens to other people too.

This entire book series is excellent - we have so many and both kids still love them (10 year old girl, 7 year old son) even though we've been reading them for years now.

This book was great to read to my young son I would recommend this book if you are exploring emotions and experiencing anger

I love the author’s Arial Unicorn books, and couldn’t wait to check out her new ninja series. These books have bright, bold illustrations and short snippets of text. Perfect for beginner readers and young listeners. Kids love ninja’s, and will love following the story of angry ninja and his problems controlling his temper. When positive ninja gives him some helpful tips, angry ninja tries them out the next time he is about to explode. The perfect way to deliver simple life skills advice to little ones!

This is a great idea but itis a very short book. Not sure it is worth the price. Will keep for a very frustrated grandchild who struggles with emotion. It enforces what we teach him.
