Description
When Mabel Babelman was the tiniest, cutest, cuddliest baby that ever could be, she had a problem. Mabel Babelman had a temper, a fierce, frightening temper.
Every time she had a temper tantrum, her Temper Temper Monster would appear, frightening away all of Mabel's admirers, parents, relatives, friends, and teachers. As Mabel Babelman grew older, her temper tantrums grew larger, so did her Temper Temper Monster.
Soon Mabel was a very lonely little girl indeed - until she discovered how to make the Temper Temper Monster disappear.
Nicola Morgan's fanciful, funny, full-colour illustrations bring new life to an age-old childhood problem.
