I read this book with my 8 year old daughter and we really enjoyed it. There were some good talking points that encouraged us to share times where we felt different emotions. This book describes various different emotions in an excellent, child-friendly way with some lovely illustrations. This would be a great addition to any Early Years setting with numerous learning opportunities leading from it.

This books is really cute. The illustrations are great and I really like how the explanations of each feeling are easy for children to understand. I think Sunny Bunnies is a wonderful way to introduce feelings to your child.

I had so much fun reading this book, the story is so adorable and the illustrations were so well done and charming, there’s so many little details in every page that I couldn’t stop but be mesmerized by it all. I will definitely be recommending it! Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy

I read this with my 5 year old son. He really enjoyed it. It's really helped him understand his emotions.

This is a lovely book that I will read with my 5 year old Grandson. The characters each represent feeling and the stories help children how to deal with their emotions. The breathing exercises at the end should be fun while they are learning. I would highly recommend this.

Helping children learn about and how to navigate their emotions and mood is so, so important. This book would be perfect for my mom to use in her kindergarten classes and for some of my nieces and nephews. It’s easy to understand and is still fun for the intended age group

This is a very attractive book from the onset and I could see children being enthralled by the colors and creatures depicted in the illustrations. Like others, I wonder if the copy could be made more appropriate for the very young audience this seems geared towards. Looking at the publication info, I wonder if this was perhaps written in French and translated?

Walking through different emotions and then adding a section on managing them is a nice strategy. I was a little surprised by the "soothe your sadness" part that suggested twisting your arms and imagining your sadness "floating away." Still, it was a very sweet book. Not really a story, though.

The sunny bunnies is a great book for little kids. Not only did it explain the emotion, give an example of the characters feeling that emotion, it also gives coping techniques to help children when they feel the emotion.
Great layout and clear illustrations too.

Sunny Bunnies: My Book of Feelings is a wonderful book addressing emotions.
Each page is clearly set out with a different feeling, such as calm, anger, fear, love etc.
Each emotion is clearly stated and colour coded. The feelings you may have when experiencing this emotion are well described. At the bottom of each page is a question, asking about a time you have felt that way. This encourages a discussion about how we react when we feel that way and times when we may have felt that emotion in real life.
There is also a little example of the characters in the book experiencing the emotion being described.

At the end of the book there are techniques to deal with different emotions. This is a wonderful idea and allows children to learn ways to express themselves and work through the emotions they are feeling in a controlled manner.

The book is cleverly written, well laid out and informative. The book is colourful and bright, captivating the young reader and the characters throughout are very cute, bringing the pages to life.

I would recommend this book to children aged between 3-8.

Sunny Bunnies: My Book of Feelings by Carine Laforest (illustrations by Animation Cafe) is a great little book for pre-schoolers and lower elementary students. This book would be an asset in any classroom, and useful for school counselors to use when little ones can't name their feelings. I especially liked the four physical exercises at the end for kids to try. I look forward to recommending this book to our school libraries, elementary teachers, and guidance staff.

This is a lovely book to help young children understand how their emotions change the way they feel inside. Bold and colourful with limited text means it’s not overwhelming
Would be lovely in an early years setting

I am really happy to read this book and will definitely recommend it to Elementary Montessori level. Colours are used to describe feelings and emotions, in this way initially students can regulate their emotions successfully.

Adults and teachers have to read this book for students initially then they can do pictorial reading and by the time they will reach to standard 1, they will be able to read the familiar words themselves.

Cover page is very attractive and activities at the end will help learners to be emotionally strong. Bravo for the great efforts by an author.

We watch Sunny Bunnies in this house and when I saw the book I knew I needed to read it to my children. I usually test out the books on them before bringing it into the office for the group children. This is one that I will definitely recommend to the parents and program creator for use. We handle a lot of emotional disregulation, so this could help the children understand emotions better.

My son was able to interact and follow along with this book. He loved being able to answer the questions about what makes him feel each emotion. He stayed engaged the entire time which is a huge positive.

The book overall was cute, engaging and colorful and keeps the children's attention which is exactly what I need for my program.

Update: my 5yr old has asked to read this every day since I showed it to him

This was a very colorful and interactive book for kids to enjoy and learn about emotions. The illustrations are very cute and I think a lot of kids will enjoy this book. It's both fun and practical and would make explaining these things to kids a lot easier if you aren't sure where to start. This would probably be suitable for kindergarten/1st grade age range.

I tried to read this with my son, who is two, but it didn't really hold his interest which is rare. In the absence of any feedback from here, here is some feedback of my own. This felt quite academic for young children, well certainly my little one gets bored without a story and I think this was why he didn't stay long. I felt the colours and the characters were a bit confusing - the characters didn't have the same colour as the colour attributed to the emotion. It's a great idea but didn't work for my sons age.

An OK book.
More of an informative book than a story.
I think it could have been adapted to have been made into a story while still keeping the idea I'd colours as feelings

Thank you netgalley for the e-ARC.
I read this book with my two and three year olds. This book explains different emotions really well. They loved the look of the Sunny Bunnies saying they are really cute. According to my two year old Shiny (the sad bunny) needs a mummy hug and she will be all better. Using colours to represent the different emotions is a really good way to capture children's attention and even though there are a lot of words my kids were happy to try to tell me what was happening by looking at the pictures.
This is another one that I will need to purchase a physical copy of the book when it is available and I will happily gift this book to friends with little children too.

This is such a great book for the littler ones to work on understanding their emotions/ feelings. A very interactive book that has exercises for the kids to try so they can learn how to work through all the different emotions they will feel.

Thank you Netgalley, the publisher and the author for my ARC!

I picked this book up for my 3 year old son. I didn't realize there was a TV show for the book characters until recently.

I love the bright colors. Each emotion has there own color too but I wished the color for the story of the emotion was the same color for the character experiencing it in the short story.

Each page has a short easy to understand description of one of the emotions. The following page includes the short story.

At the end of the book you are given for emotions and techniques for working through those emotions.

Rating 3 out of 5 because it was a cute book but I didn't find anything truly special about it.

I’m slightly undecided about this one. I love the characters and the bright colours. However there isn’t really a story to it or anything to keep a young child motivated. I also am unsure bout how it portrays emotions as negative and positive, how sadness takes away all pleasure.
For me I feel this book would be better if there was a story to how the characters are feeling and why and a resolution on that page rather than some at the end of the book.
My young son liked the colours and characters but he didn’t seem inclined to read it again as there was no story, just a list of emotions.
It is almost as it the text is aimed at one age and the colourful fun graphics at another.
There would be lots of potential for all the characters in a more typical story.
