Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
One side of this jazzy, ingenious book offers a swing through the alphabet; flipped upside-down, it becomes a counting book of cavorting critters. Ages 2-6.

From School Library Journal
Grade 1 Up-- A book that is not easy to place. Although the beginning letter of each emotion-- Angry, Bored, Curious is colored in contrast to the rest of the word in black and the type is a clean san serif , it is not an alphabet book for young children. Emotions are not concrete enough for the prosaic task of learning letters. On the other hand, the purpose does not seem to be a bibliotherapeutic catalog of feelings. Xenophobic is certainly obscure for that purpose. This book operates on a more subconscious level. Its illustrations, done with the bold, matte-finish acrylics, flat shapes, decorative arrows, and swirls representative of contemporary Southwestern art, have a dreamlike quality. The use of animal figures and especially the recurrence of coyote reinforce both the regional and visionary feeling. Artistically, it is an exceptional work--colorful, original, unique. Although some words will need discussion, the power of many pictures-- Angry, for example, with its snarling, red-faced beast--will speak eloquently to children. The imaginative and whimsical detail will fascinate them, but this is not a title with wide appeal. --Karen James, Louisville Free Public Library, KY

4.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Book!,
By Cheryl Wei-Yu Chen (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: C is for Curious: An ABC of Feelings (Paperback)
This is a great book for teaching children words for emotions and numbers. I especially like the first book -- C is for Curious. In this book, you can find an alphabet of emotions from angry to zealous. Children may have a difficulty expressing their feelings with the right words. This is the book for teaching them the right words! Teachers and parents who are interested in using this book can also consider "Feelings" by Aliki which is a collection of pictures, dialogs and poems that portray various feelings.

I love to read this book with my daughter,
By Marian in Newburgh (Newburgh, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: C is for Curious: An ABC of Feelings (Paperback)
The illustrations in 'C is for Curious' have really attracted my daughter's attention, from age 1 to her current age of 17 months. She likes the bright bold illustrations, and each page gets different reactions from her--she giggles at the page titled 'Giggly', and hits the page titled 'Angry'. I enjoy the book myself because the illustrations are more sophisticated than those found in most children's books. (I actually bought the book for myself about 10 years ago because I loved the illustrations so much).
