Reviews

Emotions are serious and have been extensively researched, but these titles speak in a friendly, helpful, humorous tone, using colloquial language. Social-historical explanations are given for how emotions developed and evolved and the reasons we still have them: to maintain human connections and interactions. . . .well written, fact filled, eye-catching, and conversation-provoking. Recommended for public and school libraries.-- "School Library Journal"
