Show Me How You Feel

In one of two books launching the Point to Books series, aimed at helping children learn how to point as a communication tool, 10 ethnically diverse children highlight feelings, emotions, and more. The photos clearly communicate each action or state of being (happy, sad, angry, hurt, tired, etc.), and the repeating structure of the text (“This boy is playing. I want to play too. This girl is being quiet. I want to be quiet too.”) helps drive home the concepts. A closing image of two sisters hugging subtly suggests another parent-child activity after they’re finished pointing. Simultaneously available: Show Me Your Day. Ages 4–7. (June)
