A to Z--Do You Ever Feel Like Me?

My 3 year old got this book as a gift....it was the BEST book we have ever seen about feelings. It explores a much broader scope of feelings than every other book we have. The riddles are clever and keep my son's attention. He loves to guess which feeling the boy or girl is experiencing. The photographs are great tools in helping him guess the particular feeling. It is a MUST-HAVE for every child to learn how to discuss their feelings. After we read each riddle and guess the correct feeling, I ask my son for some more examples of times he experiences that particular feeling....again, it is a FABULOUS book about feelings. It is an active way for kids to learn how to express their feelings.

I used this book as a vocabulary and alphabet learning tool for my Kindergartners. The book's excellent photography of each feeling along with the very realistic paragraphs helped my students expand their vocabulary. We were able to use words such as proud, confused,... delighted in our daily conversations. This is one alphabet book for every teacher's collection.

This book by Bonnie Hausman, with the participation of her real first grade class, shows a wonderful sensitivity to the ways children learn about and reveal feelings. It is a delightful book for a wide age range of children, from very young children just learning the alphabet to elementary children just learning to read. There are fun riddles and puzzles for children at different levels to enjoy, and can be a wonderful accompaniment to parent/child conversations about feelings. The text is original, the photos are fabulous. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed this book, and everyone we've showed it to wants a copy!

This was an entertaining book for young children who could relate to the pictures and have fun guessing the emotions displayed. This would be a welcome addition to any Back-to-School or holiday shopping list for first, second or third graders!!! I look forward to Ms. Hausman's next offering.

A fresh approach to encouraging children to discuss and expand upon their feelings in their own lingo. The beautifully engineered graphics and provocative text allow for easy discussion and creative thinking. This books taps into the pureness of thought and words innate in all children. We'd loved it -- this book is a winner and a welcomed addition to holiday gift lists and home libraries!
