A seek-and-find board book with a cute feline twist seeks to boost young children's emotional intelligence.Each double-page spread shows a dozen different cats whose facial expressions and body language express sundry emotions. A question at the top of each verso challenges young readers to identify which cat of the 12 is displaying a particular emotion (the feeling words are printed in boldfaced block letters), whether it is anger, happiness, nervousness (the text uses the word fidgety, which may be new to some children), surprise, sadness, disgust (the more age-appropriate word icky is used), love, and more. A prominently placed emoticon on each recto aids kids' search. Short prompts-like "Give little cat a cuddle to calm him down" and "Do you remember a time when you got a nice surprise?"-help readers to get in touch with their own feelings and practice demonstrating emotional care. This book has much to offer, providing little ones with the opportunity to develop their lexical and emotional vocabularies; sharpen visual literacy skills; and develop empathy. Youngsters will benefit from adult scaffolding, as the cats' kinesics are sometimes open to interpretation. Once children have matched the emotion to the appropriate cat, they can be invited to discuss what feelings the other kitties are displaying. The cartoony cat illustrations with faint drop shadows are set against bright backgrounds of solid color. (This book was reviewed digitally.)An engaging interactive board book that helps demystify the world of emotions. (Board book. 3-6)

In Little Cat Hide-and-Seek: A Playful Primer to Learn about Your Emotions, young children will learn to recognize and respond to emotions in themselves and others. The book introduces a range of emotions such as happy, angry, sleepy, anxious, and surprised. Each emotion is featured in a spread in the book, and each spread has a variety of illustrations with cats expressing different emotions. Children will match the emotion to the illustration that most closely represents it. The book also offers children a chance to engage with their own emotions, asking such questions as "How about you? What makes you happy?" and "Whisper in Little Cat's ear the name of someone you love." Little Cat is an appealing character that will appear in upcoming books about emotions published by Sounds True, including Little Anxious Cat and Little Angry Cat.
