Emotion Books

An internationally renowned poet and children's author uses understanding and lighthearted humor to help youngsters cope with difficult emotions in the new Dinosaurs Have Feelings book series. InWilliam Worrydactyl, William the pterodactyl worries about everything, from being afraid of the dark to not being as good as his friends. Children can follow along as William learns that everyone worries, and discovers how to cope with his own anxiety. Includes notes for parents and teachers and a listing of other resources to help children cope with their emotions. Ideal for individual reading or sharing with a group.

This is a book we have recently discussed. This is a great learning tool for some children who have some anxiety in this big new experience we call school. It offers some coping strategies that we will be adopting in our classroom. 

There are 3 other books in this series that we will also introduce to the children. They all address feelings, and how to cope and how to be sympathetic/empathetic to others and have remorse if we hurt someone else.

I could not find a read aloud to these, but I found them at Scholar's Choice.
