I Feel...

by DJ Corchin

I Feel... Something is part of the award-winning I Feel... Children's Series! If my tummy is growling, I might need lunch. If my arm is tingly and uncomfortable I might have an itch. We all have sensations within our bodies that tell us things like we're hungry, hot or cold, or feeling sick. Interoception is the ability to understand what those sensations in our organs mean. I Feel... Something introduces readers to Interoception and helps explore how we can better recognize what we're feeling inside.

[Aolund · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cartoonish characters and rhyming text explicate how confusing our sensations can sometimes be. Are we feeling hungry? Or anxious? Scared? Or is our heart just going fast because we're doing an activity? I'm not sure how effective this book would be, but I liked the activities offered at the end and feel it could be useful in the hands of the right caregiver/educator.

Good book to read with children to help them explore, think about, and discuss their feelings.

[Alicia Evans · Rating 5 out of 5]

For: readers wanting a beginner book about understanding the sensations and clues from one's body (if your stomach growls, maybe you're hungry, etc).

Possible red flags: could be too complex or open ended for some readers.
