Description

From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1-Many readers will find themselves represented in this multicultural array of close-up images of children displaying their emotions. From grumpy squints, excited grins, and surprised shouts, the photos move to whimsical curiosity, sadness (complete with tears), and sleepy yawns. Most pages clearly capture the precise quality they attempt to portray, particularly the twisted mouth of "confused" and the classic pout of "grumpy." Others are more subtle, such as "thoughtful" and "proud," or "frightened." This collection provides youngsters with the necessary labels to discuss their feelings. Whether shared with a group, parents, or a counselor-individually or in a class-this title provides the tools to facilitate discussion about children and their feelings. -Phyllis M.

I regret this purchase

They have a good idea here but it is poorly executed. Often the feeling described "At times I feel proud" are not remotely matched by the picture they are paired with. If you are trying to help a child with reading facial expressions for proper social interactions, this book will only make things worse. It is very confusing. When the girl is supposed to be proud, she looks uncomfortable and scared. When she is supposed to be angry, she looks sad. A very strange book. I don't think you could find a majority of adults who could properly match these expressions with the labels they have in this book. Very very odd.

Do not waste the money

Do not waste the money. Cards are very small (post-it size), flimsy and thin. The pictures do not depict children having emotions, but children ACTING as if they have emotions... which is useless. I would have returned them, but my LO alreay managed to break two of then within a few seconds after removing from package.
