I like this book because it is a fun and easy way to talk to children about feelings. If you read it with a lot of emotions they will make facial expressions to copy the words. They talk about what scares them, what makes them happy or angry or proud.
Dear Josie,
ReplyDeleteI always love teaching and talking about feelings with my classes. It's always a surprise to discover that different situations stimulates different feelings in each child.
I like the books "My Many Colored Days" from Dr. Seuss and "Today I Feel Silly" by Jamie Lee Curtis to introduce the subject. I like to work on the feelings through music, dance and art with the children and make them realize that they can express feelings through different media.
What are some of the emotions depicted in this book?
