Yet they can struggle to put these feelings into words. An inability to understand and communicate their moods can lead to bad behavior, deep frustration, and a whole host of difficulties further down the line. Like adults, they need help to recognize and verbalize their inner state. The greater their emotional vocabulary, the more likely they are to grow into happy, healthy, and fulfilled adults.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Emotional Menagerie\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an emotional glossary for children. A book of 26 rhyming poems, arranged alphabetically, that bring our feelings to life—Anger, Boredom, Curiosity, Dreaminess, Embarrassment, Fear, Guilt, and more. The poems transform each emotion into a different animal to provide a clear and engaging illustration of its character: how it arises; how it makes us behave and how we can learn to manage its effects. Boasting a rich vocabulary, the poems also give children a wide variety of options for describing their feelings to others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFilled with wise, therapeutic advice, brought to life through musical language and beautiful illustrations, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Emotional Menagerie\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an imaginative and universally appealing way of increasing emotional literacy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAN EMOTIONAL GLOSSARY FOR CHILDREN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e with 26 rhyming poems, arranged alphabetically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eILLUSTRATED BY RACHAEL SAUNDERS:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ewhimsical and humorous full color illustrations throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eTEACHES CHILDREN EMOTIONAL LITERACY:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e through imaginative poems connecting different animals to common emotions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eIMPROVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e by helping children articulate their feelings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eFOR AGES 5 AND UP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IndiePubs US Refresh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48291298705659,"sku":"9781915087195","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781915087195_511253a7-186b-4f7a-8811-c226f47cd810.jpg?v=1772488012","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/an-emotional-menagerie-9781915087195","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
