Yell and Shout, Cry and Pout: A Kid’s Guide to Feelings is an essential guidebook for adults in steering children through the confusing behaviors that emotions evoke.  When you understand the purpose of emotions, behavior becomes understandable.  Each of the eight emotions is clearly defined thorough vignettes and illustrations, keeping both adult and child captivated, thus creating an opportune time for discussion. By recognizing that all humans experience these emotions throughout their lives, the book provides a true sense of comfort. Emotions are not to be shunned, but rather embraced and explained to provide a positive development environment for all children.

I don't have enough thumbs to give Peggy Tietz for her book Yell and Shout, Cry and Pout.  This is an excellent tool.  One I'm keeping to reference back to in my classroom.  As a teacher I think all teachers could use one of these guidebooks to refer to and read with their class each and every year.  She's right on the button on every emotion that she presents.  Good to use for class discussion group time.  Use a topic a week or a month there are 8 topics that Tietz writes about:  anger, fear, shame, sadness, happiness, love, disgust and surprise.  Each topic are emotions and all children can relate to in some way.
