- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2025My toddler loves this book! It’s helping to establish their connection to what feelings are. We act out some of the pages, like being cranky, reading under a blanket, kissing a sea lion, etc.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2019BUY ALL THE TODD PARR
We first bought The Family Book by Todd Parr, recommended by a children’s art-based therapist. Let me preface this by saying that I buy my fair share of books on emotional intelligence designed for kids, and my girl likes them. But any book that she recognizes as overtly trying to teach her something, she can be more stubborn about because she’s a kid and a little stubborn stinker sometimes. She’s not with Todd Parr books, she goes to grab them to read without me insisting.
The messages are wonderful, poignant, and subtle, but effective. I think her favorite part is the vibrant childlike illustrations.
We have loved every single Todd Parr book, this one, The Family Book, and Love the World. They have all been true winners. Nothing problematic, just great messages in a form kids love to digest. Would give 10 stars. I will continue to buy Todd Parr probably until we have them all.
Also, this feelings book is great because it talks about emotions “sometimes I feel cranky”, but other relatable feelings like “sometimes I feel like I have a tummy ache” and “sometimes I feel like staying in the bathtub all day” ...things that are more concrete for kids to relate to.
I don’t know anything about Todd Parr’s background, but he hits the mark with these books.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2024Todd Parr’s books are great! This is perfect way to introduce feelings to littles! Bright pictures & pages designed to prompt conversations about feelings!

- Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2016The Feelings Book by Todd Parr features his signature boldly colorful, zany artwork and effectively captures an array of emotions. Books like this help provide kids with a broad vocabulary for the multitude of feelings that people experience. This helps them convey, share, and deal with their emotions and is an essential part of emotional literacy. Concludes with a reminder to share feelings and not keep them bottled up inside, something which is important for to remember whether one is a child or an adult.
Adoption-attuned Lens: Emotional literacy is a vital skill for all of us. It is especially important that adoptive families become well-practiced in exploring, sharing and talking about feelings, especially those connected to adoption. These emotions are complex and intense and enmeshed in the experience and feelings of other family members. This can make it difficult to discuss because one might fear upsetting other family members. Kids sometimes choose to protect others at the expense of their own emotional and mental health.
Adoptive families must encourage conversations about emotions and ensure that all feelings are valid. Specifically discuss how something that makes one family member happy can make another sad or angry. For example, parents can be overjoyed that they were able to adopt a child while the child may have a range of feelings about it. These feelings most certainly will include loss, grief and probably some anger as well. Accept that these feelings can coexist; they do not void each other.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2023This book is silly, fun, and has colorful pictures. It is more about accepting feelings rather than teaching them. It is always my daughter’s first choice of book during reading time. I almost didn’t buy because of price compared to other board books, but 10/10 recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2024My toddler and baby boy loooved this book ! I make it a fun read by making certain faces along with the characters ln the book so it’s such a interactive read if you make it .

I advised this book older than 3 years old. It is funny and attracted children's attention but it is not way to teach their feelings; it is just for fun.
