This book talks about the different ways to love--pets, flowers, and most important, the other people in their lives. Kids also learn that they needn't be afraid of the dark when they're alone in bed at night. Sometimes they become angry at friend, or maybe ashamed if they've wet the bed--but they also learn that these are passing feelings experienced by all children. Feelings they can learn how to control or overcome. Boys and girls learn that good feelings are even better when they're shared with friends and loved ones. There are full-color illustrations on every page, and a two-page section of guidelines for parents at the back of the book.

Feelings: From Sadness to Happiness

Combining simple story lines with engaging illustrations, this appealing book speaks directly to younger children. It helps kids realize that fear is a natural reaction to the unknown, and can be overcome with understanding and a little help from others. Kids are often afraid of doctors and dentists—until they learn that examinations are for their benefit and that discomforts are both slight and brief. All boys and girls need to do is tell the doctor what makes them afraid, and he will treat them more gently. Fear of the dark can be turned into a game, and fear of storms will melt away when kids gaze out the window to watch the beauty of lightning in a darkened sky. Other fears are examined and ways are described to overcome them. They include fear of nightmares, fear of animals, fear of water, and even fear of loud noises. Full-color illustrations on every page, and a two-page section of guidelines for parents make this an ideal book to inspire family discussions.
