Brief Summary: A coloring book that allows children to draw in emotions on faces and answer questions at the end. Eg. "How do you feel when the teacher yells at you for passing a note, but you didn't do it?" The child colors in the page and faces, then answers the question, "What can you do about it?"

Personal Comments/Biases, and/or Things to Consider When Using This Book With Children: This coloring book is an invaluable tool to use with children who are trying to figure out their emotions in different situations. It allows them to talk about how they might feel in different situations without someone dictating it for them. It is a good tool to use with kids who are not very verbal, or kids who like to draw.

Activity:
This book is a workbook, so each page is an activity. It is set up for you to easily use the different situations in the book for whatever situation is happening with the child.
