4yo yells in another child's face - what to do?

Hi everyone

My 4yo DD has, over the past couple of days, yelled in another child's face - what I mean by this, is she's got up really close to them and yelled at them. This has been because she's not getting her own way, or she wants something that they have.

Obviously, this is something I'd like to nip in the bud. I think that we need to address her issues with sharing and patience (she's an only child, which might be relevant) but yelling in another child's face is not acceptable to me, especially as she's tall for her age, so it's got to be intimidating/scary for the other child.

Any thoughts? Typically, she's a pleasant, easy-going kid. I'm going to ask her key worker at pre-school to keep an eye out, as well as asking the mum of the other child in question to tell me if it happens again, and we have told her that she should not yell in this way, but is there anything else you think we should do?
