Trade ReviewThis is an excellent way to help manage one of the hardest aspects of childhood, and it's a book to keep alongside you for many years * Parents in Touch *
Emotions can sometimes be scary for younger ones. This book teaches kids aged six to ten
about why they feel the way they do. They will learn what basic emotions such as happy, angry, afraid and sad mean. Lots of colour, cartoons and honesty.

An incredibly good choice for anyone who wants to explore different feelings with a child... It's a good non-fiction book that teachers can easily use from year R to year 6, and parents can use it to talk and help their own child to understand what they, or their friends, may be feeling and why. I would definitely recommend this book for boys or girls from 5 - 12. It's bright, colourful and informative; perfect for the mental well being of a child and their adult! -- Adult * Toppsta *
It is excellent and I would definitely recommend it for parents with primary children... Very clear and to the point. Overall, a handy book particularly to help children face both their own and other people's complicated emotions -- Parent with child age 8 * Toppsta *

It was very easy to give this book five stars, in fact I was instructed to by a very serious six year old! It is beautifully laid out, manageable amounts of texts and a truly wonderful book which I believe every child should have access to! I have ranted about this book to everyone I know -- Parent with child age 6 * Toppsta *
I absolutely loved this book and would use this for my child to help her understand her emotions and to explore different ways to cope with them -- Parent * Toppsta *
