Figuring Out the Size of the Problem

You’ve worked through the Superflex curriculum with your students and now you’re ready to dive deeper. This discounted two-book set featuring the UnthinkaBot Glassman and Thinkable Kool Q. Cumber explores one of the social learning challenges we regularly see in our students—having big reactions to small problems! The lessons in these two books complement each other and they even share similar settings and characters to bridge the learning.

These engaging books are part of our Superflex series, which is designed to help children learn about their own and others’ thoughts and behaviors, and practice strategies for self-regulation across a variety of situations. As kids learn strategies to defeat the UnthinkaBots and unexpected behavior, they strengthen their flexible thinking and are better able to self-regulate in challenging times.

1. Superflex Takes on Glassman and the Team of UnthinkaBots

Revised edition with UnthinkaBot characters and important updates! The UnthinkaBot Glassman (aka Glassy) can be found in the brains of many Social Town citizens, both kids and adults alike. Glassman confuses people’s understanding that problems come in different sizes. And Glassman’s powers can get citizens to have big reactions when problems are small. In this revised edition of this popular illustrated storybook, readers follow Superflex Aiden as he takes on Glassman. Readers get a taste of lessons at the Superflex Academy and learn self-regulation strategies that help them match the size of their emotional reaction to the size of the problem. Buy it at a discount as part of the set, or individually for full price. Digital version of the book is sold separately on Apple Books and Google Play (not printable).

2. Superflex and Kool Q. Cumber to the Rescue!

Complementing the teachings found in the book above, this illustrated storybook introduces readers to the Thinkable Kool Q. Cumber. Kool helps Social Town citizens stay calm when problems happen and use their strategies to figure out the size of a problem and the expected reaction size. Buy it at a discount as part of the set, or individually for full price. Digital version of the book is sold separately on Apple Books and Google Play (not printable).
