Monday, February 13 - Feelings part 2

Stories:

In My Heart - A Book of Feelings by Jo Witek

Songs:
"If your happy and you know it..."

Storytime extension:
Because You Daddy Loves You by Andrew Clements. A great Valentine's Day book! Discuss the many different feelings a child expresses as her father responds to different circumstances. Pause to ask how your child would feel in the given circumstance, how they would feel should the father respond with the words before the book reads: "...But he doesn't...".

Wild Feelings by David Milgrim. This book plays on metaphors like "clumsy as an ox", "stubborn as a mule" to poke fun and accept that we all have many feelings, and it is okay. Discuss the expression and what it says about our feelings.

Have a little animal lover? The ebook from Lillian Vernon by August Branchesi. Dusty D. Dwag Has Feelings Too is a feelings book taken from a dog's point of view.
