K-3Feelings series.
Illustrated by
Simona Dimitri.
Double-page spreads explore feelings in loosely grouped categories; Busy uses a story format. Cartoons and small photographs of real objects (toys, flowers, gifts) are superimposed on monochromatic background photos. Each spread includes a border of facial expressions matching the emotions covered in the book. Discussion prompts and activities are appended, which is good because the books don't offer much information. Ind. Review covers these Feelings titles: I'm Busy: A Feelings Story, I'm Happy and Other Fun Feelings, I'm Sad and Other Tricky Feelings, and I'm Tired and Other Body Feelings.
