This book will help kids understand their emotions and it provides an opportunity to discuss how to control emotions. This book associates emotions with colors, so it’s a good way to learn colors too.
Creepy Monster, Sleepy Monster
This is a short, fantastic rhyming book for kids. Monsters, just like kids have a hard time going to sleep.
