Rowan really likes this one, and it's quite a nice little thing. It does the double-function of helping kids think about emotions, and helps parents consider their kids's emotions from their perspective. This is really important since often adults who become parents suddenly realize what their own parents were feeling, but sometimes forget to also think back to what you felt like as a small person navigating emotions and situations for the first time.

Meiners's text works well, and Weber's illustrations are decent in their clarity.

Rowan really likes seeing the tricycle, since he's cruising on his own tricycle these days.
