Preschool-Grade 2 Everyone's favorite Muppet pals are on deck to help kids identify and manage their feelings in the supportive Sesame Street(R) Character Guides series (6 titles). In both text and image, these books hit all the right notes as they define different emotions and provide examples of what those emotions might feel or look like, always illustrated by photos of the Sesame Street characters and children of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds, as well as ability. The golden rule defines respect in Everyone Has Value with Zoe, which shows kids being kind and polite. Bright colors form the backdrops to uncluttered pages that feature short sentences, Muppet speech bubbles, and reader-directed questions in thought balloons. Each book ends with a "Be a Buddy!" activity that reinforces the concepts introduced by the text as well as a glossary. An excellent choice for SEL collections.
