About this product

Product Information

Deep inside everyone, a red beast lies sleeping. When it is asleep, the red beast is quite small, but when it wakes up, it begins to grow and grow. This is the story of a red beast that was awakened. Rufus is in the school playground when his friend John kicks a ball that hit him in the stomach, and wakes up the sleeping red beast: `I hate you - I'm gonna get you!'. The red beast doesn't hear the teacher asking if he's okay. It doesn't see that John is sorry - how can Rufus tame the red beast? This vibrant fully illustrated children's storybook is written for children aged 5-9, and is an accessible, fun way to talk about anger, with useful tips about how to 'tame the red beast' and guidance for parents on how anger affects children with Asperger's Syndrome.

  • Helpful but confusing for Asperger's child

    A very useful concept for explaining anger and the need to control It. My 7 year old boy found it difficult to understand that the red beast was a metaphor and the story confused him in that way. I suppose that goes along with literal type thinking. I do believe this book will help my child though who is struggling with anxiety and anger.

  • Very good for helping children to externalise anger

    This book is helpful not only for Children on the autistic spectrum, but also for children in general. It shows that everyone deals with anger to a greater or lesser extent and that children can identify and select different strategies to bring their emotions under control. I use this with children to normalise anger, to talk about the anger in a non-personal way, to explore their understanding and to help them find their own strategies.

  • Impressed

    I bought this after it was recommended by a friend - my 7yr old daughter has had 2 out of control meltdowns at school. I received it today and we have read this 4 times already at her request, she recognises her anger traits in this book and I feel this is going to help us manage her anger better. We even went to the local shop and bought bubble rap for school- if you read it you will understand why we did that. I would whole heartedly recommend this to anyone with a child who has anger issues. My 10yr old son sat and listened to the last reading and enjoyed it too! It opened up a whole host of conversations on how we can tame our red beast (anger).
