Books about feelings?

in Pre-School and Daycare

DS is in the phase of asking us if we are happy, angry, etc.  He is also starting to act out a little at school and the teacher suggested asking him how he feels and how he thinks people feel when kids throw and hit (he doesn't hit, but he does throw b/c another kid is a big thrower).  We kind of discuss feelings, but I think reading about them will help as well since they have helped us in the past when dealing with any transition (new baby, doctor, school).

Any suggestions?

    We talk about the feelings kids/animals are having in her books.

    We already do that, but he really seems to respond well to stories that are specifically talking about something.  I guess we don't have any stories where kids/animals are being all that mean to each other like what really happens at school.  I knew this stage was coming, but I wasn't ready for it!  :)

    Lots of great books in the SADNESS / DISAPPOINTMENT / HURT section that might relate to what he's going through.

    We love the book "My many colored days" by Dr. Seuss.  Also, Sanda Boynton has a cute book called "Happy Hippo, Angy Duck."

    My mom gave us a series of feelings books that she bought at school (elem principal).  The author is named Trace Moroney.

    Also every time he does something mean ect we talk about how brother/mama/daddy feels about it, when he gets upset about something we talk about how he feels and remind him of times he did something similar and does he think XYZ felt the same way he is feeling now.

    I bought my daughter a book called "The Way I Feel" by Janan Cain.  It goes through a variety of emotions including "disappointment" and "surprised" and explains each emotion in a way the little ones can understand.

    DS likes this one too...and it is very colorful and has fun pictures.  We often "act out" the feelings after reading about them.

    I also like the Llama Llama books..."Llama Llama mad at mama" is a good one.
