A review by scostner
F Is for Feelings by Hazel Mitchell, Goldie Millar, Lisa A. Berger

4.0

This book is made to use with groups or one-on-one to discuss emotions with children. The alphabet book format will make it seem familiar and nonthreatening to young readers. Each spread shows a letter and a corresponding emotion, an illustration, and a sentence or two to describe the emotion. I am glad to see the range of ethnic diversity in the characters portrayed and the real-life situations that are used to illustrate the feelings. As the creators point out, some feelings are perceived as positive or negative, but they all play a part in our lives. They cover happy and proud as well as impatient and jealous. The suggested activities at the end of the book are helpful for adults (counselors, teachers, parents) who want to use the book to support emotional development. It will be a good addition to school libraries, classrooms, and homes.

I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.
