Sunny Bunnies: My Book of Feelings

Sunny Bunnies: My Book of Feelings offers engaging illustrations. The color schematic throughout the book is attractive for Children. I wonder, as other reviewers have pointed out, if the writing could include more rhyming or attention grabbing explanations of the individual feelings. Very young children may be unlikely to keep attention with current writing style.

Overall, I think this is an excellent option for Parents or Caregivers looking to help Pre-k to early Elementary aged children learn about emotions. It’s a great option to provide these Adults with fun exercises to try 1:1.

Sunny Bunnies: My Book of Feelings
by Carine Laforest, illustrations by Animation Cafe
a great resource for the elementary school. Introductory book for kindergartens, showing emotions and how you can sooth hurt, calm your feelings, and feel brave.

Considering that the target audience for this book is kindergartners, I'd say the book does a pretty good job of laying out in a very clear and concise manner what some of the primary human emotions are. Nothing too complex - just the way it needs to be. The examples given to explain these feelings are also very simple ones, easy for young children to understand.

This book offers a coloured schematic to identify different feelings and emotions. Moods such as joy, sadness, fear, calmness, love, anger and surprise are included. Kids experience a myriad of emotions day-to-day so it's important to name, identify and talk about them to make them aware of their mood changes.

As kids learn about their feelings they will learn how to manage them, a critical skill that lays the foundation for emotional intelligence and resilience.

The Sunny Bunnies are adorable expressive little characters that kids can identify with. Four exercises are included to help kids move through their emotions. I love the book and highly recommend it.

The perfect book for little ones.
The child knows feelings.
He finds out what happens, for example, when we are happy and sad.
There are exercises at the end.
After knowing each feeling, we ask the child questions.
A great book that entertains and teaches.
22 pages of wonder.
Beautiful illustrations add to this.

I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Oh, this is a fun read with sweet illustrations that remind me of one of those Pixar animated films; it is appropriate for children to get to know various mood characters and learn how to manage their emotions.

What a great way for kids to learn about showing emotions and how to deal with those emotions. Colorful illustrations will keep any child’s interest.

This was such a great book! It is so vibrant and FUN. My three year old loves it so much. Every page talks about a different emotion, explaining what that emotion is and how it feels. It then asks "When so you feel ____" which is a great open ended questions for kids to think about! I am all about embracing your feelings no matter what they are so I loved the message of this book. It was short and but packed a bug punch! I loved the page of 4 different exercises at the end of the book as well. The exercises are designed to help move though your emotions. Overall, a wonderful book that I wound purchase and recommend to others!

So colourful, full of brilliant and bright colours portraying moods, emotions.

The illustrations are so good.

It’s a great little book for a parent to get out and read with their child. I would particularly have loved this when my daughter was young, she had unequivocally distressing moods at times. They would swing from happy to sad to angry and frustrated and I think the little book will help a child understand different emotions and a parent or adult to teach them how to control their anger, or how to embrace their happiness, joy and worry.

One flaw for me was, some wording, some seemed a bit more grown up reasoning that a child might misinterpret.

I loved it on the whole though.
Definitely recommend.


I will publish my review on Goodreads, Amazon, Waterstones as soon as it’s published.

Thank you publishers for my copy.

This was an extremely cute book. The emotions were clearly described with fun and examples. I especially loved the emotion focused exercises.

Thank you to NetGalley, and the Publisher for the eARC! My Book of Feelings reminded me of the movie Inside Out with the color coding of feelings and focusing on each feeling throughout the book. The playful pictures are perfect for preschoolers. I also like how the author provides questions for the reader to ask the child so the child can make the connection to the feeling. A great read when working on feelings!

This lovely picture book is the perfect way to teach your children about their feelings.
Each feeling is colour coded, for example, sadness is blue, and is explained through great examples by the Sunny Bunnies.
Great features of this book are the example exercises at the end, helping children overcome negative feelings such as anger and sadness.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to children aged 2 to 4, who love to explore and understand their feelings. I also recommend it to all parents who want to help their little ones to do so.

So many moods. Tiny people have big feelings in little bodies. Teaching them to recognize, name and manage those feelings are core to foundational SEL skills that need to be developed to create emotionally intelligent children. This names and reviews many types of moods and why they may experience them. With cute cartoon bunnies as the main characters, children also learn to recognize facial expressions for social awareness. A great book for homes, classrooms and counselling offices.
