The Feelings Book

Todd Parr · 2009
82/100
👍 Worth It

Todd Parr's bold, child-drawn style and his gift for validating the full and funny range of what children feel — from the straightforward to the delightfully absurd — have made this a go-to for parents, teachers, and therapists alike. It is not a deep narrative experience, but as a conversation-opener about emotions for toddlers and early readers it is genuinely excellent at what it does.
