Handling Your Ups & Downs

Okay Holly, here's the book information you asked for.  Leanne gave me this book, and I love it. It was published in the 70's, and I think it's out of publication, but you can pick it up for a penny plus shipping at Amazon.com.  Here's the title information:

Handling Your Ups and Downs: A Children's Book About Emotions (Ready-Set-Grow)

In this book, scenarios are presented with discussion pages that go over positive and negative feelings and reactions with parent/child Q&A's.  We've enjoyed reading it together, & it only takes 15-20 minutes to read.

I don't have any of her other books, but the author Joy Wilt Berry, is very interesting to read about. She is the first & foremost author of children's educational self-help books. Oh, why not... here's her book list:
