(4) K-3 Rodale Kids Curious Readers: Dealing with Feelings series. Illustrated by Hilli Kushnir. In Jealous, the narrator envies the attention-getting new girl. Scared finds a (different) narrator worried about swim lessons. Both books feature adults who help the children recognize emotions ("What am I feeling? I am feeling scared") and react appropriately ("We practice breathing deeply"). The easy-reader stories, with their "Dealing with Feelings" message and somewhat static digitally-colored pencil illustrations, are reassuring if a little bland. Review covers these Rodale Kids Curious Readers: Dealing with Feelings titles: This Makes Me Jealous and This Makes Me Scared.

(4) K-3 Rodale Kids Curious Readers: Dealing with Feelings series. Illustrated by Hilli Kushnir. A girl is thrilled to ride a roller coaster, visit the petting zoo, etc., on her field trip to the fair. Everything is happy-making until the charity bake sale, where her peanut allergy prevents her from partaking. No matter: she can still enjoy the satisfaction of giving. The easy-reader story, with its "Dealing with Feelings" message and somewhat static digitally-colored pencil illustrations, is reassuring if a little bland.

(4) K-3 Everyday Feelings series. Illustrated by Mike Gordon. Young Diego is always there to help others face their fears (public speaking, thunder and lightning, dogs), but he must talk himself down the night he becomes convinced that there are monsters under his bed. Barnham's mission to enlighten readers bogs down the writing, but Gordon's illustrations are emotionally rich despite being cartoonish. A note for adults concludes the book. Reading list.

(4) K-3 Feelings 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.

This series takes characters through situations that readers themselves may experience, along with associated emotions and physical manifestations of the feelings (e.g., "Aaron wins first place in the spelling bee.
