Roles in series[]

Barney & Friends[]

"That Makes Me Mad!"[]

Whitney is mad because a kid drew on her new bookbag at school. She expresses her anger by saying she is so mad she could hit something. Barney notices Whitney's anger and talks to her, helping her understand that hitting is not a right way to deal with anger. Together, they explore better ways to express and manage feelings of anger, such as playing with clay. Sarah and Nick help fix Whitney's bookbag by using Baby Bear's bib as a patch to cover up the marks on her bookbag. Sarah suggest having her mom sew the bib onto the bookbag, which Whitney agrees is just right.
