I am an Intensive In-Home therapist who works with children and adolescents ages 5 - 17. I use this book primarily with my younger 'kids'. Before each sesssion, the child is allowed to choose the mood he/she is experiencing that particular day. This book works well when trying to teach younger children their basic emotions and how to properly express them. The only problem I have with it is some of the emotions are difficult for a 5 year old to understand. But other than that it is a great book.
I would recommend it to anyone who is working with children ages 5 - 9 who has difficulty expressing their emotions.

It looks cute and is listed as an item for young readers, but it works equally effectively for adolescents and adults. It provides an opener or a warning especially for those who have a hard time expressing themselves or have difficulty identifying how they feel. Too bad some people think because it's cartoonish, it's childish. The faces downplay the seriousness and make it less intimidating and embarrassing for some people to openly express their feelings.

An excellent way to reveal your emotional state to your family, colleagues, etc. We started with one for me and soon added one for each of the other members of the family to encourage everyone, regardless of age, to think about and label his/her feelings.

I bought this book years ago to help my son let us know how he was feeling. Other charts/books did not interest him. This has the artist's take on each mood and it appealed to my son.

Since then I have used it with all 3 of my children, my husband and even myself. Sometimes it is hard to know what you are feeling, to express it with words. these pictures let you express it without words.

I think every teacher, class, therapist, parent, and family should have one of these. IT is a great tool to help you communicate with the people in your life. This billboard format is great in an office, handy at home, and invaluable if you have a child.

Although this cool flip book only has pictures of faces with feeling words below them, it is the best book on feelings I've ever bought!!! My kids love it as much as I do. My 6 year old, who doesn't read well yet, can even use it, because he looks at the faces, and decides how he feels at that moment. I'd buy this book again, and really recommend it to parents with children who have a hard time expressing their feelings in words!

I'm feeling good that I bought this product. An awesome addition to your office :)

i would highly recommend this product....it can work well at home or work to show others how you feel without verbalizing aloud....fun way to express your emotions....great for both the young and old! very colorful and lots of feeling choices! as a therapist, one could leave it out on the table for clients to express their feelings as well!

This is great for the kids I work with to help them express their emotions and learn about other feelings.

we really found this helpful to our toddlers as they explore and try to identify their feelings.

This has been a great addition to my therapy tool box. I use this with my younger clients - they love to go through it and pick how they are feeling. Children can look through it during family sessions and it makes a great game for kids to identify situations where they experience that feeling. I also use it on my own children when I get the ever dreaded "I don't know"!!!!
