Are you as HAPPY as a lamb, or as GRUMPY as a goat? Jump around the room like a little spring lamb. How do you feel now?

A positive, energetic and playful way for children aged 2 to 5 years to recognise their emotions and lift their mood. The different animal characters visualise each emotion – from excited to sad, joyful to angry – so children can identify and communicate their own feelings. Underneath the puzzle pieces are funny or reassuring things for children to do to lift their mood or turn negative feelings into more positive ones.

Self-regulating emotions is a learned skill. This book offers strategies for children to practise, such as fun physical activities, mindfulness, breathing techniques and reassurance. The book also offers parents and carers a tool to open conversations to foster good mental health through play.

The double-sided puzzle pieces fit together for extra fun - good for concentration and mastering fine motor skills.

Emotions included: happy, grumpy, excited, sad, safe, scared, joyful, angry, proud, embarrassed.

Also available in the Choose Your Mood Puzzle Book series is Brave as a Lion, which focuses on feelings: brave, worried, cuddly, lonely, calm, jumpy, bold, shy, strong, lazy.

A really clever board book ... enabling communication about feelings which feels fun and has a toy-esque quality that children will love ... Highly recommend.

With a unique and interactive puzzle-piece feature and sweet illustrations, this is a fun and playful board book that encourages healthy conversations around emotions and communication.

Whether it’s jumping like a spring lamb or pretending to be a joyful dolphin, the activities on the puzzle pages encourage movement, mindfulness, and laughter. A great resource for building emotional vocabulary and healthy habits through play with little ones.
