The Great Big Book of Feelings Summary

The Great Big Book of Feelings by Mary Hoffman

The book opens with the question: How are you feeling today? And this leads on to a spread by spread presentation of a wide range of feelings, including:


*Happy * Sad * Excited * Bored * Interested * Angry * Upset * Calm * Silly * Lonely * Scared * Safe *Embarrassed * Shy * Confident * Worried * Jealous * Satisfied

The final spread is about Feeling Better because sharing and talking about feelings helps us to feel better.

The approach and design follows The Great Big Book of Families, with lots of different children in lots of different situations, brief text captions and questions and plenty of humour to make sure the book is fun.
