This is a really simple board book with an emotion listed on the page accompanied by a crayon demonstrating that emotion. So like… it seems like it’s supposed to be for babies, but like…emotions seem kind of complex for that age group? But books about emotions are great for older toddlers/you kids, but the execution seemed too simple and not engaging for that age group? It’s weird.

We ended up using the book as a template to talk about our days. We would talk about something that made us feel happy that day and something that made us feel sad or scared. My son (4.5 years) really loved doing that, and so I give this book 4 stars for giving us that experience.
This book is a great book on talking about different emotions. Each crayon has a different emotions. I enjoyed at the end of the book how it talks about that everyone can have more than one emotion at a time and it's okay. This book is great for ages 1-3 years old.
I really enjoyed this book. I think it is a great way to teach kids about emotions and how to communicate and talk about what they are feeling. I also really enjoyed the illustrations throughout this story.
Crayons demonstrate the acceptance of feeling multiple feelings at the same time, such as being angry and sad, or happy and confused.
Crayons have feelings, and sometimes they're angry (and a little bit tired).
This book is about crayons expressing their feelings and they learn it's okay to express them. This book is for ages 4-8. I found this book on a website.
