I am a social worker/therapist, that works with kids. I love adding options to my library to get kids talking about their feelings. This book was on point. so cute, and I really enjoyed it. Thank you NetGalley and author for this ARC.

this is a really bright and engaging introduction to emotions for young children. each emotion is presented in a way that’s easy for little ones to understand, making it a great tool for emotional awareness and early social-emotional learning. the colourful illustrations and fun characters also help to make more complex feelings feel less scary and more manageable.

I read this with my 2 year old and he loved it! The story is great and I think every kid should read it. My son loved each of the emotions and the colors and pictures that came along with them. I love that serenity was included in the emotions, I feel like that's not often an emotion that's taught to young kids.

Thank you to NetGalley and Chouette Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sunny Bunnies: My Book of Feelings is a bright and cheerful introduction to emotions for little ones. Using the playful and mischievous Sunny Bunnies as guides, the book explores feelings like joy, sadness, fear, surprise, anger, love, and calm in a way that is easy for children to understand.

I read this with my daughters, and they loved the colorful illustrations and silly expressions of the characters. The way the book pairs each feeling with clear visuals makes it especially engaging for young readers who are just beginning to name and recognize their emotions.

As a parent, I appreciate how approachable this book makes emotional learning. It’s a fun, lighthearted resource that not only entertained my girls but also opened the door for conversations about what different emotions feel like and how we can respond to them.

Overall, Sunny Bunnies: My Book of Feelings is a joyful and valuable read for preschoolers and early learners—a perfect mix of fun and emotional growth.

Have you ever seen Inside Out? same idea but in short haha, its cute the illustrations are pretty and its easy to understand.

My son and daughter loved this book! There are not a lot of books with these specific characters in them, and it was fun to read one about emotions since we have watched the show on Netflix. I loved that there are headings of the emotion, and questions on the pages for reflection on when you've felt this emotion. I liked the small paragraph for each emotion that goes along with the page- it's not too much for kids and gives a good description in a way they understand. I also like that the Sunny Bunnies are pictures with the emotion described on the page.

Overall this is a great book kids learn about emotions!

Perfect for preschoolers and early elementary kids, "Sunny Bunnies: My Book of Feelings" is both heartwarming and educational. A must-have on every young child’s bookshelf!

Bright a colourful book explaining the different emotions and linking them to the Sunny Bunnies. For preschool age I thought that the book was quite wordy and could have perhaps the children more with ideas for how they can regulate each of those emotions beyond the breathing exercises

This was a great book to introduce emotions to my 2 year old. We al know toddlers have big feelings so we started to talk about them and understand what they are and how they makes us feel, She liked this book

I went into this expecting something similar to Disney's inside out, just in a more digestible book form for a younger audience. But that wasn't was this was. The art and colors were nice, but it was pretty textbook like in the way it described emotions. I also felt like the vocab was a bit advanced. When describing fear, it was defined as the feeling you have when you're in danger. Do toddlers know what that word means? I feel like there's a lot of spaces that need to be filled in by the adults reading the book to children

A beautifully written book that talks about emotions, explains them in detail and has an exercise part that teaches us how to deal with them.

The illustrations are beautiful, and add so much to the whole storytelling.

I would highly suggest it to teachers and parents, to explain and help kids to talk about their feelings

Beautiful illustrations pop off the page with vibrant colors. Great board book for young toddlers. My granddaughter is one so I think Ill safe it a little longer before I give it to her.
I received this galley from NetGalley.

"Mom's" Review:
Cute little book about some of the big feelings inside little kiddos.

At first, I was a little confused as I thought the color of the sunny bunnies would correlate to an emotion (ala "Inside Out") but it quickly became clear I was mistaken.

The layout of the book was clear - emotion description on the left, scenario illustrated on the right. I really liked that the author had both a question posed to the little reader to examine their own feelings about each emotion and said illustration was an example scenario on the opposite page.

Towards the end, we had a few good exercises for regulating the bigger, sometimes more negativity emotions.

This is an adorable book that really explains the feelings that you can have. It is different than the movie that is similar. It's an interactive book that explains and shows you what it feels like to have the feeling and why you might be feeling that way. The pictures are great and eye catching. It's short enough to keep the attention of younger kids but has questions to keep the older ones engaged in the story as well!! Would definitely buy for my preschool children at school.

Absolutely precious! Sunny Bunnies: My Book of Feelings, is so cute and colorful, with easy-to-understand descriptions and visuals of the emotions Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, Calm, Surprise, and Love. Not only does it teach about emotions, but colors too! So vibrant and expressive. "Joy makes you glow." How wonderful of a description is that?! I have a three year old daughter who is learning all about these emotions, and sometimes she experiences several of them all in a row. Towards the end of the book, it even has little exercises to deal with negative emotions. I have a feeling this is one that my daughter will enjoy reading over and over again.

This bright and colourful picture book looks at how all feelings are important and ok. It is a positive introduction to feelings and would make a great addition to health units about emotions or for parents and guidance counsellors who want to introduce these topics in a one-on-one or small group setting. The images will help keep even the youngest of readers engaged and interested in the story. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this excellent book!

The Sunny Bunnies are a favourite in our house so this book was a must. Both kids enjoyed this book in different ways. My son (2) liked flipping through quickly and pointing out the different bunnies and colours. My daughter (5) read it more in depth and liked to come up with ideas for when she felt the different feelings. The images are clear and cute, the examples for each emotion helped explain them by giving a situation to relate to. The exercizes at the end were a bit of a hit as we tried them out together. This is a great book to help kids learn what their emotions are, and give them tools to help regulate them. We read this ebook through NetGalley.

This is a color coded book of feelings. It is interactive, asking children questions of how they handle each feeling.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I love this book so much for my son as the graphics were intriguing and mommy's voice narrating the good things about emotions in the book helped some.

While I love the diversity in emotions, the examples provided, and the prompts through questions. I had difficulty seeing this for anything younger a First Grader unless they have good reading skills and comprehension. This book works just fine if you are reading it to younger children and assisting them in comprehension of what is being stated.

Otherwise a wonderful emotions book for children.

Thank you #NetGalley and #CarineLaforest for the ARC and allowing me insight to something adorable not only for my kiddos, but others as well.

This is a beautiful book about feelings, making them understandable for kids. It's a great way to initiate a conversation with my kids about how they feel and why. Beautiful bright graphics.
