Generally if you can not empathize with or understand how another individuals feels then you really cannot develop a meaningful relationship or fit well into a societal structure. This collection of vignettes depicts children in a variety of situation and shows the emotions they are experiencing. They range from pleasure at scoring a goal in a soccer game, to loneliness being left out of a group and fear in this case of a of a large dog. The young boy who provides the continuity and focus tries to remember or think about how he would feel or react to a given situation. The closing pages of the book offer parents, caregivers and teachers guidance in using the book and for extended activities that focus on empathy games. Part of the "Learning to Get Along" series. 2003, Free Spirit Press, Ages 4 to 8. —Marilyn Courtot
