A Little SPOT: My First Emotions Board book – August 8, 2023

My little girl absolutely loves this book, she's 17 months and already learning her emotions!

The media could not be loaded. I bought this book because I am a children's therapist and I love the Little Spot of Emotions books and videos!I have this book for work and my niece has a birthday coming up so I bought this for her as a gift! I use this book so often with kids as young as 2-3 and as old as 6-7 depending on developmental abilities.This book is perfect because it isn't super big. I love how solid the cardboard is making it great for little hands. The colors are super bright and the words are easy to read. The tabs make it great for going back to use it again and again during conversations.The book pairs well with all of the different videos and is a great introductory to all of the different emotions. I really like this one compared to some of the others because it is a bit shorter. The pages have fewer words which is perfect for kiddos who struggle to sit still.I'd recommend this book to any children's therapist or even parents who want to get a start on teaching their kids about emotions from a young age.

Excellent first book for getting your toddler familiar with different emotions and normalizing them. Easy to read, understand and discuss. The book asks prompting questions like "When have you felt sad?" Or "When was a time you remember feeling loved?" So it's great for narrating and repeating back & giving the child a chance to explore their feelings. Also in the middle of a big feeling episode one could reach for this book and be asked to point to what they are feeling.

My toddler requests this book at night. Tonight, he told me his “worry was out of control.” It made sense, as he had been distraught prior to bedtime. This book is helping to explain emotions and some of the contributing factors.

My almost 3 year old son loves reading this book. He names the colors and the emotion tied to the color. It's easy to flip through the tabs of the book to ask what color he's feeling. My favorite is the "love" pink page.

LARGE print, really easy to read

My little girl loves this book. Now when she's having big feelings, I make a reference to the book and she instantly understands. Super helpful!

This book has been amazing for my 2 1/2 yr old!
