There's a reason zookeepers usually use sedation.
I'm not crazy about this book, but I like the way the idea is presented: both of the characters feeling the same way about each other but being brave or not wanting to get angry. It seems like it would help children understand the concept of empathy, and the idea that 'he's just as scared of you as you are of him.'

Try to think about others' points of view, and understand how others are feeling.
