"It's a fun story about a little boy who is mad (as in angry) as the title suggests. He decides to run away from home and he has many adventures on his travels including meeting a junk man and his horse (well the story is 40 years old but that's part of it's charm) and going to the park with his friend to play, often enjoying himself so much that he forgets that he is supposed to be running away. He forgets SO well that he returns home at the end of the day to have dinner as normal and then he realizes that he isn't mad anymore and he tells his mum about his adventures before settling down to sleep" [a private review]
