We all feel many different emotions every day. For young children, those feelings can be extra strong. And sometimes, children need help finding the words to describe how they're feeling. This friendly and positive alphabet book gives children those "feelings words," and explores the idea that while some feelings are more comfortable than others, all are natural and important. F Is for Feelings invites children to share, express, and embrace their emotions—every day! A section in the back provides tips and activities for parents and caregivers to reinforce the themes and lessons of the book.

      An alphabet of emotions, created by two clinical psychologists for parent-child discussions.Intended to provide a starting vocabulary for expressing feelings, the text for each of Mitchell's cartoon-style, utilitarian scenes consists of a cue ("A is for afraid") and a tagline ("I am scared"). In the pictures, a diverse cast of children in everyday settings mostly responds with facial expressions rather than actions to common situations, such as being left with a babysitter or having to wait for a turn on the swings, or they display general moods like sadness and grouchiness. Unsurprisingly, considering the authors' credentials, most of the modeled emotions are related to anger or anxiety. Those of a more positive cast tend to be less easily definable: "D is for determined"; "Q is for quiet." Furthermore, the abecedarian conceit is overstretched with "K is for kind" and "Y is for yelling" (as in, "I'm full of energy, and I feel like being loud!"), which aren't feelings so much as behaviors. The "Letter to Caring Adults" at the beginning as well as closing spreads of advice and bulleted activity lists suggest the main audience for this are adults rather than children themselves.Useful, if not particularly artful. (Informational picture book. 5-8, adult)

      Alphabet book meets bibliotherapy in this stilted compendium of "feeling words." Each letter introduces an emotion; a sentence exemplifies the feeling and a saccharine picture depicts a scenario that might evoke it. For example, U (upset) shows a boy whose kite has crashed ("I don't like this"). An appended guide instructs adults on the importance of recognizing and expressing emotions and suggests activities.
