What Feelings Like Best
By Tina Oziewicz and Aleksandra Zajac
Reviewed by Renata
A pitch-perfect blend of whimsical illustration and insightful, funny text, this is guaranteed to find fans among children and adults alike. Many books in the "emotions for kids" genre pitch their subject too cutesy, too preachy, or too simplistic. Oziewicz and Zajac get it just right with their imaginative exploration of feelings and the interplay between emotional states. The observations they make are genuinely illuminating and the details they include (the matchstick ladder Worthlessness uses to get into her rubbish-bin home!) make this book something special. For fans of Eric Klassen and Clotilde Perrin.
