This is a nice little book for teaching emotions to kids. The book starts with introducing the characters. As a sample, it focus on one emotion of being happy and took examples of different social situations. It also has instructions on how to use the book for teaching. Nice work.
A great looking workbook for appropriate reactions/feelings for different situations. Great character setup, too! Being a sample version on Kindle, I couldn't get into the meat of it, but it definitely looks promising.
To start, anyone who gets this ebook should understand that this is a sample - I believe at least more than the first quarter of the paperback version. I think it has potential and seems to be a resource for teachers (and parents) to understand children’s emotions, but I wish this ebook sampler is much longer, and possibly gave a teaser of at least more than five scenarios. I got this for free via Kindle Unlimited but if I were to pay, I would expect the full ebook.
I purchased the eBook version which does not include the entire book. From what I could see, it does look like to be a good resource for teachers, and even parents, who are looking to engage in conversation with children about emotions.
3 stars since the eBook is just a small sample and priced at $2.99 which seems pricey considering full eBooks go for the same price or less.
