(4) K-3 Understanding Emotions series. Illustrated by John Bendall-Brunello. Four young animals deal with emotions and how the feelings affect those around them as well as themselves in these picture books. The stories, illustrated with appropriately emotive pictures, are fairly cheesy but surprisingly light on moralizing given the series' preachy-sounding premise. Each book contains ideas for adults to use when sharing it with children as well as helpful coping tips. Review covers these Understanding Emotions titles: The Elephant Who Was Scared, The Hippo Who Was Happy, The Tiger Who Was Angry, and The Zebra Who Was Sad.
