Feelings

A parent might reach for this book when their toddler is beginning to express big emotions but lacks the words to name them. It's an excellent tool for proactively building a child's foundational emotional vocabulary. "Feelings" is an interactive lift-the-flap board book that introduces core emotions like happiness, sadness, and anger through bold, colorful illustrations of animals. Each page names a feeling, and lifting the flap reveals another creature sharing that same emotion. For children aged 1 to 3, the book's durable format and playful peek-a-boo element make learning about feelings an engaging game rather than a lesson. A parent would choose this book for its simple, direct approach and its stylish, modern art. It successfully normalizes a range of emotions and provides a perfect starting point for conversations, helping young children understand that feelings are a universal experience.
