1. Summary - This book is about how two detectives go on a case to stop a "Masked Door Slammer". While working the case, Bob keeps losing his temper with his partner Larry and ends up ruining his day. When it is brought to his attention that his hanger stole his happiness, he changes his attitude and becomes more pleasant.

2. Personal Reaction - I loved this book and its message. It shows that even though things may get on our nerves or irritate us we can choose to be happy and let it role off our back.

3. Extension Ideas -
1. I could use this book to help a child who seems to be in a bad mood or having an off day.
2. I could use this book to help draw conclusions. (What do you think will happen next?, What do you think they found?)
3. I could use this book to show how a little self control can go a long way. ( )

NICE LESSON TO BE LEARNED. ( )
