 The Yellow Troll's TreasureTopic: Self-Control
Grade Level: K-2
When Jared’s mom tells Jared he needs to find “a little self-control,” Jared misunderstands and begins to search for a “little yellow troll.” He finds the curmudgeonly creature in his own backyard carrying a bag labeled “Jared’s Self-Control.” But the troll won’t give up his bag until Jared passes seven tests. As Jared passes each test, he learns what self-control is, and what he needs to know and do in order to practice it.

"Recently my class had the awesome opportunity to have a play, "Yellow Troll's Treasure performed at our school. I love the message presented about finding your self-control. We already use the stop and think ideas through out our day and it has been very effective in my students understanding the concept of having self-control now. Thank you."
