# Sometimes I'm a Baby Bear, Sometimes I'm a Snail: Ways to Say How We Feel - Hardcover

by **Moira Butterfield** (Author), **Gwen Millward** (Illustrator)

**Today I'm a Bear cub. I want to hug. I wouldn't mind a cuddly squeeze. I'm Bear cub, so yes, please!**

Many of the anthropomorphic animals have exaggerated features--big, round eyes; puckered lips, and expressive faces--which aid in readers' understanding of the feelings, as the animals mimic the humans....A useful tool for caregivers and teachers working with the preschool crowd.--_Kirkus Reviews_

Developing emotional and social intelligence is a huge part of young children's development, and parents are often left grappling with how best to discuss feelings of shyness, social anxiety and respect for physical boundaries with their children.

_Sometimes I'm a Bear Cub_ gives young children the tools to understand and express their own emotions, as well as understanding that other children have the same feelings as them - and they might want their space, too. With input from a child psychologist, it provides ways of expressing and understanding a range of feelings.

The final spread provides notes for parents and caregivers on how to use the book to encourage children to express their feelings.
