I purposely chose this book to review for the very subject that it handles. Yell and Shout, Cry and Pout by Peggy Krugertietz, Ph. D talks about emotions and what these emotions feel like and situations you may actually feel them.
About the Book:
Yell and Shout, Cry and Pout: A Kid’s Guide to Feelings is an essential guidebook for adults in steering children through the confusing behaviors that emotions evoke. When you understand the purpose of emotions, behavior becomes understandable. Each of the eight emotions is clearly defined thorough vignettes and illustrations, keeping both adult and child captivated, thus creating an opportune time for discussion. By recognizing that all humans experience these emotions throughout their lives, the book provides a true sense of comfort. Emotions are not to be shunned, but rather embraced and explained to provide a positive development environment for all children.
In My Opinion
My mom and I have talked a LOT about how important it is for kids to learn about emotions and learn how to handle them. We both read this book and both of us agree that this should be in every single classroom.

What I enjoyed most about this book is that it truly doesn’t make emotions too complicated or too scary. We all feel angry and sad and afraid sometimes, and discussing these emotions are so important! This book will generate discussions in your home with your child about emotions. It will get you talking about “what do YOU do when you feel such-and-such an emotion.”

I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
I could have used that book years ago and saved myself a lot of trouble.
Wow thanks for your wonderful review, Nicole!
As a former teacher – I can say this is really important for all ages of children. I hope the author writes the same kind of book for older kids.
