Dr Janet Rose is an experienced Early Years practitioner and was previously an Associate Professor in the Department of Education at Bath Spa University.

A lovely series of books with colourful illustrations and interactive pages that encourage children to explore and share their emotions. The wheels, flaps and sliders provided great discussion points, for example, thinking of things that make you happy . For this reason, the books are great for reading together as they raise a lot of questions to ask and respond to and get the whole family talking about their feelings. Our testers found them particularly helpful for younger children as it helped them with starting to recognise and put words to their emotions rather than having a tantrum to express themselves. -- Dr Amanda Gummer * Dr Gummer's Good Play Guide *
