'Anger management' books for 4yr old DS!

Just wondered if anyone can recommend any good books to read with my DS who really struggles with managing his emotions and often lashes out both at home and school.
I can only find 'namby pamby'(in his eyes) stories. His tastes in toys and reading material are way above his age, shame his social and emotional skills are those of a two year old!
Does anyone know any very boyish stories that tackle this issue?

Thanks

What does he enjoy? If you tell me a few of his faves then I will come back with a few suggestions...

www.amazon.co.uk/Angry-Arthur-Red-picture-books/dp/0099196611

also look at "Mad isn't Bad" ..it's on Amazon too.

Thanks a million- I've looked at them and both are properly boyish.
All the ones I'd seen were aimed at younger children and were a bit babyish which would really not do for him. The Angry Dragon one will be great- he loves dragons!
I've ordered them and am looking forward to reading them together and letting them work some magic (fingers crossed)!
Thanks.

Soon as I read the thread title, I thought of Angry Arthur Smile

Maybe don;t buy him the toys that are more to his taste - some toys are not appropriate for younger children as they don;t have the emotional magturity to play with them and they affect other areas of their lives.
