- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2012Even my 2 yr old wants to read it. I love that the children in the stories have expressive faces, makes it easy to talk about how people look when they feel a certain way. The book poises questions and if you give your kid time they will answer, great for discussion. One of the little stories is about how an older sib feels with a new baby, good for anyone approaching that life changer. My kids like it and it gives good suggestions for further discussion.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2011Delightfully done book for anyone actually who has trouble with emotions. In a simple childlike way the book illustrates how to handle more than one emotion at a time. It is comforting and reassuring to the reader that it is ok to have more than one emotion about the same thing....very helpful....
- Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2018I like this book for both my kids. It gives a good description to preschool aged children about how they can have two different feelings around the same situation.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2014While it is book for young readers - the concepts of having more than one feeling at a time is something that people of all ages deal with. This book validates those experiences and prepares the reader for more. I use it with people of all ages, asking forgiveness for the childish characters, because the concepts are so good.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2017I'm a mental health therapist for children and teens and this book has been my go-to for initial exposure to feelings and understanding feeling complexity. I love that it relatably describes how children can have two very incongruent feelings at the same time and it states it all so simply with the illustrations and normal-sounding words. I would highly recommend this book for all children (not just children in therapy) as it's an excellent tool for feeling exploration.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2015Awesome concept for kids to learn and know about. I used this book when I worked at a community mental health center and now in my private practice working with child victims of crime. Great!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2000The concept that people can have different feelings--even conflicting ones--at the same time is important for children to understand. Children will appreciate the reassurance of their feelings' worth. For each set of contrasting emotions, there are two illustrations of the child-one for each emotion. This helps the readers realize that facial expressions and body language can often indicate feelings.
After examining the pictures, I realize that Patterson has created a somewhat diverse world: out of the four main characters, two are male and two are female; two are white, one is African American, and one appears to be Asian American. There is an African American teacher, a sibling who uses crutches, and fathers (as well as mothers) are de-picted as having positive relationships with children. By portraying characters who seem so similar in the text as a physically diverse group, readers get the sense that no matter what someone looks like, he or she has feelings like everyone else.
In short, this book should not be used alone to explain the concept of conflicting emo-tions. In my experience, children--especially younger ones--benefit much more from re-alistic fiction stories than they do from books "to help parents help their children" which is what this book claims to do. In fact, it seems that this book was written more for adults to use as a guide for talking about emotions with children than for the children themselves.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2010This book is simply written and intended for a child 5-8, in my opinion. It has been an asset for our child who often struggles with comflicting emotions. It is easy to understand and offers real life examples for kids.

Janet ChapmanReviewed in the United Kingdom on July 31, 20135.0 out of 5 stars Making sense of multiple feelings
This is the first book I have found which normalises for young children having two feelings at once. Such an experience can be confusing especially when feelings are opposites. The book not only normalises it but helps chidren verbalise and deal constructively witn their feelings.There are helpful suggestions for parents.

I really liked this book. It explained how you could have two feelings along side each other which is sometimes difficult for little children to understand.
