Product Description: The newest title in "The Way I Feel" series addresses the topic of jealousy for young children. A bear cub describes situations that make her jealous: when someone has something she wants, when someone is good at something she wants to be good at, and when someone else gets all the attention. "Jealousy is a prickly, hot, horrible feeling. I don't like feeling jealous but--everybody feels jealous sometimes." The little bear finds ways to make herself feel better--she talks to someone about how she feels and then does something pleasant--and soon the jealous feeling goes away.
MY DAUGHTER LOVES THIS BOOK!!! My daughter, 2 1/2, loves these series. I read all the "When I Feel" books to her every night - she especially likes "When I Feel Jealous" and I think it's because she has a new baby sister that she is noticeably jealous of. She has me read this particular book to her all day. Anyway, I would recommend these books to all.
great great book for children to help them understand this very confusing feeling. pictures are great, and story is great
A bit superficial for the subject It covered some typical situations a child encounters, though for our 5 year old it could have included a few more strategies and examples. Worth a read, perhaps up to 5 times or so, but lacks compelling material to establish staying power. Additional anger resolution strategies would have made this book much better.
