I thought this was a sweet little book. I thought it would focus more on feelings rather than general concepts but it was still enjoyable. The illustrations were bright and colorful enough to keep kids engaged. I think most of the poems were a bit above my four year old's heads though. However, it could still be adapted enough to use for the pictures and a couple of the poems.

A very sweet book about a variety of different feelings told in rhyming poetry. The pictures are very cute and give a good visual to match the feelings discussed in the poem.

I love connecting children with books, especially when they have rhythm and rhyme. Felicia Law's new book Feelings does exactly this with her latest addition to the Patchwork series. This series "is a whimsical collection of books that integrate poetry to reinforce primary concepts among emergent readers".

Young children are introduced to feelings such as self-confidence, surprise, jealousy, naughty, and fright in short poems. Each double page spread (illustration on one side and the poem on the other) depicts diverse children with facial expressions representing the various feelings. At the end of the book a list of words from the poems help parents to focus on key words for their emergent readers listening and speaking vocabulary.

I would recommend this title for parents of children from birth up to preschool. The Patchwork books are a great way to introduce young children to poetry while working on a simple concept with each title.

Fantastic book for children and families to read together and explore feelings. As grown ups it is easy to forget that children don't understand their feelings in the way we do. This book helps us adults to remember how overwhelming emotions can be and is a great way to gently explain this to young children, particularly those who are often overcome by their feelings.
