The Great Big Book of Feelings Hardcover – Picture Book, 7 Mar. 2013

I bought this for my grandson as he struggles i havnt had chance to sit with him to read it

A very well considered book for children to help identify different feelings and get them talking about their own feelings. It is refreshing not to read a story book but instead, to read one that promotes discussion. As such, this isn't really a book you "read" so much as one that you can dip in and out of. A quick flick through in advance and it can be a useful tool after a child has had a tantrum / acted / reacted in a particular way, to find the corresponding action/reaction in the book and to then help the child put words to what they were feeling. The whole range is great and well worth it for ages 3+.

This book feels a little old fashioned - I think it's the pictures. The concept is good as it encourages discussion and helps children to understand and verbalise their feelings and also how they might work out how someone else is feeling. I looked around for a while before deciding to purchase this book, many of the others I found seemed too abstract and little 'american'. My four year old was quite taken with the concept, although after the first few times of reading, we haven't really revisited it much.

I bought this because I’m a social worker and this has been useful for direct work with children the bright illustrations capture their interest and most children do relate to the emotions (it also distinguishes small sadness and big sadness etc) and can identify how they feel or how they felt, my son found this in my bag and also likes talking about how he is feeling in a particular day looking through the book. Really good book to have.

Really good book. I use this as a direct work tool for my job as social worker. The children love it and it really helps them to open up.The pictures, colours and words are great. Recommend highly to encourage children to identify and talk about their feelings

My 3 year old twins love this book. They ask if we're going to read it all the time. It covers all the main emotions and is an aide to start a discussion with your child exploring what they feel, why, when and how much. My twins are now able to tell me what they're feeling but also they understand to what degree and whether it's appropriate.Highly recommended

This book is a lovely way to explain to children about their feelings and how best to manage them. The cat having feelings is a quirky addition that my seven year old loved!

I often find my 7 year old reading this she has trouble with handling her emotions and this simple to read book has given her ideas on how to manage her feelings. I love that is simple enough for her t read & uses short sentences which keeps her attention

My son loves this book. He's 4 and it's been great for helping him try to tall about or label his feelings.

子どもに「感情」というものを説明するにはもってこい！　例えば「怒り」というページでは、怒りというもののマイナス面も書かれているのですが、同時に怒ってもいい時のことも書かれているので、単に子どもが怒ってしまう自分をダメだと思い込まなくてもいいような内容になっています。日本語でもこういう本が欲しいなぁ。

altro libro meraviglioso di Mary Hoffman, in lingua inglese, validissimo sia per casa che scuola o biblioteca per bambini per insegnare loro a riconoscere le proprie emozioni e ai grandi a spiegarle in modo semplice e pratico per loro. illustrazioni davvero belle e ben fatte, lo consiglio a tutti i genitori ed educatori che ci tengono al lavoro di crescita.

Awesome book for kids!

Not worth the cost and wait
