The Feelings Book: The Care and Keeping of Your Emotions (American Girl(r) Wellbeing) Paperback – Illustrated, 26 Feb. 2013

My 9 year old daughter was dealing with some feelings that she didn't understand and that were distressing her. We talked but I felt I needed to give her more help and guidance. I bought this book, offering a choice that we could look at it together or on her own. She immediately wanted to read it alone. She loved it! Reading up to 26 pages at a time. Easy to read, great illustrations, paced well. She has learnt so much about herself that she has impressed me. It has really helped her and she asked for the accompanying feelings journal, which I also got her.

Although American this book has helped my 7 year old grand daughter to express her feelings, if she is upset her mother tells her to go fetch the book and read it, then come and tell her what is wrong, it is brilliant and well worth the money, together they can work through issues.

I wanted something for my 9 year old daughter who I think seems to be dealing with hormones. One min she's happy, then angry then crying. I didn't want something too old which I found with other books talking about sex etc. This book however is fantastic and very age appropriate for this age. It's written in a great fun way in which she can understand and you can also complete questions and answers. It's got everything covered including dealing with grieve. I like this book so much I will be purchasing the other ones 5 stars from me

This has really helped my daughter to identify and understand her emotions- the only thing that threw her was the way they spell Mum... MOM 😂😂.

This has really helped my 8yo daughter. She has been struggling with her emotions recently and so I wanted something that would help with this and talk about reaching puberty but without going into details about sex just yet and this is exactly what this book does. The context and approach is appropriate for her age and the use of language is well pitched too.

This book is brilliant. Yes it's a bit American but it's the best book I've found that helps those pre teen girls understand and manage their feelings in an easy to understand and non patronising way. Great with the work book .

Brilliant book. 7 year old daughter found it to be very helpful, keeps it under her pillow and reads a little every night. We also look at bits together. Been a bit of a lifesaver really.

Great explanations for younger children to understand and apply to emotional situations they find themselves in. Enough on each page without being overwhelming and great lighthearted illustrations to complement the information. Bought for my 9 year old - she is really enjoying reading it and is finding it helpful.
