I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This reminds me of the Little Miss and Mr. Books from the 80s. I thought it was cute and simple and will appeal to younger audiences.

"I Feel" is a deceptively simple book that talks about emotions in a fun and accessible manner. With large, colorful and expressive illustrations and clear and simple language, the book engages young children. It makes them smile, laugh, and ask questions. The book offers bright and engaging illustrations of faces and clearly labels the feelings and emotions expressed on them. It acknowledges that feelings can be overwhelming and is never condescending or patronizing. At the back of the book are activities and questions that parents, care-givers, and educators can use in conjunction with the child or children to further feelings and how to handle them.

"I Feel" is a thoughtful and respectful look at emotions and how they make us feel. I recommend it for anyone who has, cares for, or cares about a young child.

The book is an enumeration of feelings. I like the illustrations for very young children because they will be able to recognize and associate the feeling with the face. My favorite part of the book is at the end when there are activities about how to talk with children about feelings, the idea of the feeling book it is great. The book is good for pre-kindergarten students. It is a very easy feeling book for young students I would prefer the books where there is an explanation of the feeling so they children can know more about feelings identification but even when this book doesn’t have this it is a great book for start feeling lessons plans for younger students.

Our youngest son is on the spectrum. He feels and he feels deeply. This book has some fun and practical ideas for him to help express his feelings.

At first glace this is just a cute little book with some funny pictures and a silly rhyme about feelings, but do not be deceived, it is so much more than that! Aimee at children 4+ this is a fabulous resource to teach children about what emotions are and how to deal with them. It has a lot of feelings in it and can generate some wonderful discussion. There are also activities to help children identify their emotions and how best to share them and cope with them. This is an important tool for any parent, educator, or anyone who has any dealings with children. It is especially useful now, during a time where a lot of adults may even be having difficulties dealing with their many feelings.

This is really helpful for preschoolers who need help identifying and seeing the value of different feelings. My second grader enjoyed it as well! It matches well with what he has learned through play therapy and occupational therapy. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for this unbiased review.

"I Feel" is a delightful simple book that will explain and help kids understand the millions of feelings and emotions that they experience each and every day. These feelings are identified and characterized to help kids make choices as to how to manage them. In so doing they are understand that it is okay to feel.

The book can be used interactively as kids can emulate the character's expressions, talk about them, and have fun doing so. The large colourful illustrations are perfect.

The author has included additional questions and activities to explore social-emotional awareness at the back of the book. I highly recommend " I Feel" and the entire series.

while i enjoyed the text and the message of the book overall, I did not connect very well with the illustrations. They felt dated and and just kind of blase to me.

There's one billion feelings. Which one do I use?

Feelings can be complex for little ones and helping them thru that mine of emotions can put a toll on any parent. This is a good book for both parent and child to identify the feelings and what is appropriate. Feeling angry is good to identify but what are healthy ways to deal with that emotion.

The illustrations are of faces with different emotions and feelings. Questions for both parent and child to go thru and activities to help along. This is a good resource because feelings are important but also feelings need perspective. We don't want to be ruled by our feelings but able to better deal with them.

A special thank you to Sourcebook Kids and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

I received an electronic ARC from Sourcebooks Kids through NetGalley.
The latest book in Corchin's series shares all the emotions people feel. The face illustrations capture a wide gamut of emotions and affirms that it's okay to feel them or to simply feel confused and not know what you're feeling.
Supportive book for young readers as they begin to process and understand their emotions. Simple language helps them comprehend the message. Great to read as a family or a library read aloud.

I would recommend this to psychotherapists, parents, teachers, and anyone working with children. Feelings identification and expression is such an important skill and teaching it to children is simplified by the suggested exercises in this book. The beginning portion is a great story to read to children as they work to expand their feelings vocabulary. As a child psychologist, I look forward to the publication of this wonderful resource!
Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

To Help a Child Understand and Process Emotions

This book is very simply Illustrated, but the illustrations are so effective even if they are just cartoon faces simply displaying an emotion. But the author has captured the “feel” of the feeling, so to speak, in these simple figures very well. As is clear when you read the text and as the author states at the end, this book is meant to help parents, teachers, or mental health professionals open a dialogue with a child about their emotions. In fact, the last couple of pages give more questions to ask and activities to do to help a child understand and process their feelings. I thought, in particular, the book would be good for a loving parent or caregiver to read to a child who is having difficulties with emotions, helping the child explore both positive and negative emotions. Even for adults, emotions are complex; we don't always have a handle on them, so why should we expect children to? This book could help a child gain a little clarity, perhaps, guided by a loving adult, and understand that it is completely normal to feel a range of emotions.

Good read for parents and kids. Helps start the conversation about feelings. Interesting and entertaining for all.

Thank you to the publisher for an advance copy via netgalley! This book was read with my five year old.

This is a sweet and simple book about feelings. What is really great about it is that it includes lots of tips and materials for teachers and parents to Elaborate on what feelings are with kids very successful!

I Feel... is exactly what you would expect from that title. Full of different ways one might feel accompanied by exaggerated and often hilarious faces depicting those emotions. I appreciate that the author even brought in the concept of showing on the outside something different than how you actually feel on the inside, and also that we may have feelings that we don't have the right words for right now. (They used feeling "plaid" in the book, which I loved!)

This title is one that ideally will be shared by a parent and a young child.  Through a combination of simple text with some rhyming, and cartoon llustrations, many feelings are described and identified.  Talking about the many emotions that a person can experience will help children to recognize what they are feeling and to learn that all of these can be described and talked about. 


I found this to be a book that deserves a place in the homes of young kids.  I did not love the illustrations but that is clearly a matter of personal preference and others may well feel differently.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

Ok this book can play an important role in understanding and expressing emotions in children.
What we feel and why we feel are two questions if we as adults can explain our children ,will benefit them in the long run.

Couldn't view the photos so not sure on this one. The writing appeared to be good for kids to learn about recognizing their feelings.

Emotions, whether they are positive or negative, need to be talked about and I think the world is getting to grips with this in teaching emotional awareness and emotional intelligence and is opening up. I Feel encourages exactly that, through its engaging and interactive activities and discussion openers. It is a book that a teacher, a parent or any adult can sit down with a child and start a conversation about emotions in a relaxed manner. The book mentions all the different type of emotions and isn't your usual happy or sad. It uses a wider vocabulary such as remorseful, nervous and more. It digs a little bit deeper down in rhyming form. It's a great discussion piece for children who are ready to expand their vocaularly and think about how they feel and how a certain main emotion may make them feel or act.

The book then delves deeper and asks the reader to look in the mirror. It's an exploratory exercise of themselves in the way the reader looks when they feel a certain emotion. This doesn't have to be a negative emotion, it could be a positive. It's designed to explore whatever emotion is being felt at a particular time.

The book is also designed to help children explore emotional awareness and there's a practical drawing exercise as well as exercises to create your own book of emotions.

The book has the positive message of telling children that it is "ALWAYS ok to ask someone for help when you are feeling bad".

"I feel...." this is a good book for opening a conversation between groups regarding different feelings. While the illustrations make it feel more like a preschool age book, I think it would be well suited as a starting point for a lesson for elementary aged students. Some adults may find it useful as well.. The book also gives some follow up activities and questions to follow.
