Review: In this book, we travel to Alaskaand learn about the huskies, which are trained to pull sleds. Join Kimmo andGalena as they explain the ins and outs of taking care of a dog team. Butthat’s not what this story is about. Believe it or not, it’s about knowing howto feel good. What makes a huskie feel good? Howling, of course.
In this story, the lead dog showsthe kids the benefits of howling.
“Howl when you are happy. Howlwhen you are sad. Howl when things are great. Howl when things seem bad.”
The illustrations were so vibrantand colorful. This book shows the different ways that you can feel good. Ofcourse, this is all comes from the perspective of a dog, but the concept wasthe same. I didn’t quite understand the paw print in the snow and the differentfingers. I guess that was counting your emotions. It all led to a simple,little exercise you can try on your hands.
“Fingerholds help us to know howwe are feeling so we don’t get stuck in a feeling.”
This book is a fun reference guideto help with your emotions.
A nice read about feeling good.
Rating:4 stars
