This book explains twenty different feelings, and emotions told in rhyme using segments of STAR WARS stories as its backdrop. A clever way to keep the saga fresh for the younger generation.

This book tells bits of the Star Wars story from the prequels through The Last Jedi in verse, focusing on an emotion a character is feeling for each page. A fun way to teach kids about feelings. It's just a little too long for very little kids (my 3 year old has a hard time focusing all the way through).

Super cute illustrations help to bring each of the emotions alive

Could the inner Star Wars nerd in me resist a book with this cover, called Search Your Feelings?
No. I didn't even try, because why would I? This book has all of your favorite characters in adorable pint-sized illustrations by Katie Cook, and I probably should have bought another copy so that I could deface it and put some in frames. Each illustration is paired with the name of an emotion, and a few verses of rhyme that explain what that word means. (And I know we've talked about how pedantic I am about rhyme schemes, and yes, there's a couple of verses that... fall short of the requested perfection, but not enough to put me off the whole book,)
Examples of verses that it just right though, include "Leia, Luke, Han, and Chewie, disgusted and stuck in slime. Frantically call Threepio, to get out just in time." and "'These aren't the droids you're looking for,' the old man calmly stated. But the stormtroopers were confused, mixed up and agitated." This book is going to be a big hit with my Star Wars loving nephew (age 5), who's ready for an introduction to some more complex emotional vocabulary, so long as they're introduced in a relatable way. Being able to match up this face of Lando's to the word "guilty", is just the kind of stretch-learning he needs right now.

Nice book that applies a variety of emotions to different Star Wars characters. I liked the scope of the book. It includes references to the original Star Wars series as well as the newer movies. It was really cool to see all of those characters in one book.
There was also a great range of emotions. There were basic ones like happy, sad, and angry, as well as more advanced ones like confident, hopeful, anxious, and guilty.
The poems were entertaining. It takes a lot to come up with a rhyming poem that ties a certain emotion to a Star Wars scene, but this book pulled it off pretty well, in my opinion.
The thing that really made this book stand out were the illustrations. They were fantastic. Simply adorable. I loved them.
Great book for discussing emotions with the Star Wars fan in your life (as well as fostering a love of poetry).

Star Wars: Search Your Feelings by Galliope Glass and Caitlin Kennedy, illustrated by Katie Cook. PICTURE BOOK. Disney, 2018. $11. 9781368027366
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Each spread of this book has a cartoon drawing, an emotion labeled, and a narrative poem. The poem describes an event from the span of the Star Wars stories and is associate with the designated emotion.
This is an entertaining book, but it has a couple of drawbacks. First is that you would have to know the broader Star Wars narrative to understand most of the poems. Second, the emotions are labeled, but they would have been more useful if they were explained and there was some dialogue about their purpose.

What an amazing book! Every two-page spread is dedicated to an emotion, with a rhymed poem describing a scene in a Star Wars movie when a character was feeling that emotion, and a cute illustration of the scene with appropriate, evocative faces. I'm sure this would have been a fantastic way for me to learn about different feelings as a child (though I might have wondered who this Rey person was... or who this Yoda person was. I'M OLD OKAY).

(3.5) Super fun book, but only appropriate for those who have seen the movies. I found this book to be clever and enjoyable as a fan, though I don't agree with "lonely." I haven't read it to my son yet, so I can't say how young readers will enjoy it. The illustrations are cute and the feelings are fitting for the characters explored. I especially liked the references to the dark side and jealousy.

It's silly, but it bothers me more than it should that the little scenes they choose for each feeling are not in chronological order. It includes characters from all three trilogies.
A nerdy way to teach your younglings about their feelings, but it's really more for you than them. My kids have no real idea who these characters are yet.

If you’re looking for a fun book with social emotional learning topic for the young child this is perfect! I will recommend this for teachers who are helping students to recognize their feelings and express them.

Would be nice to have in your home library to refer to from time to time.

The drawings were fantastic- but the rhymes were lacking. There seemed to be a missed connection because the rhymes were forced because they were trying to make them fit around the key emotion words.

No real story, instead each spread discusses a specific feeling in rhyming text with examples from the Star Wars movies.

Received as baby gift and enjoyed reading to him in womb.

We loved this whole series! My daughter loves the pictures, and my husband loves that she is learning so much about Star Wars

Disappointing- rhymes felt forced. Book had a lot of potential but fell flat.
