What Are Feelings? ISBN: 9781474948180
Christine, Pym and Daynes, Katie
Published by Usborne, 2019
Because this is a board book with lots of flaps to lift, you might think that it's for the youngest child, but many of the concepts involved are more sophisticated than that. Numbers of animals explain what feelings are and how they manifest themselves in our bodies, and on the final page, they also give us coping strategies. The feelings explained are: Happy, Sad, Angry, Worry, and Scared, but we are told that while it is hard to give a specific number, there have been 27 identified so far! It's a great book for discussion purposes, particularly when tucked up on a sofa with Mum or Dad or someone close. The illustrations are fun and full of colour. Even older kids will enjoy raising the flaps and reading the information underneath.
Age: 6+
