This book is so cute! I love that it starts with an overview of what emotions are. I also loved that it gives a different emotion for every letter of the alphabet! The picture were nice too...though my 2 year old thought the lion on the letter A was a bit scary.
These are poems about the different emotions. From a parent/teacher standpoint, I liked that they tell the emotion, give a small physical description of what the emotion might feel like, and then give you an idea of how to pass through the emotion. That being said, the poems are long. My 2 year old could sit through the reading of a poem, but didn’t have the stamina to read the entire book all at once. I could see a teacher focusing on 2-3 poems a day and using them to make text to self connections with students. This would be an excellent book for that!
Overall, I liked this book. I would use this with my classroom of young children, and even with my child when she was a little older!
