This is a fun introduction to the words used to identify and describe different feelings. Doodle-style cartoon creatures exemplify each feeling with personal examples – one creature relates feeling joyful to playing outside, while another feels sad when they are all alone and another still links the feeling of anger to wanting to shout.

The simple connections made between feelings and both positive and negative experiences can serve as a starting point for discussions with children about the words they use to describe their emotions as well as different times and places they have felt those emotions. The illustrations are bright and fun, and the rhyming text is simple enough that children will begin to memorise it after two or three story sittings.
