Reviews / Votes
These books are great for class and nursery settings toencourage children to think about their feelings and to encourage them to discuss
things that have made them felt sad or angry, helping them to understand their own
feelings and learn how to describe that feeling with a friend or adult carer. Older KS1
children could follow this up with short poems about sadness or anger (following the
pattern of a poem in the book) and also use each story for simple story sequencing,
or to act out the story. Sensitively told, and beautifully illustrated by rising star,
Holly Sterling, this series is ideal for use in early years settings as well as families
where there are young children Written with great empathy, children will really appreciate the approach, which will help them to understand and hence to cope with their emotions... The series is really well thought out, with appropriate stories plus plenty of additional material to help teachers and parents he words they need to express their feelings. It' s often hard to explain to the children about how emotions can suddenly take over. These books are a lovely way to talk about their feelings and emotions and he has been keen to read the angry one a couple of times this week. The illustrations are great and do a fab job of conveying the emotions.
