Toddler-PreS–This cheerful work extends the playful world of Roald Dahl into a lively SEL primer. Through Blake’s exuberant art and the bouncy, Dahl-inspired text, young readers are encouraged to name, share, and work through emotions from happy and proud to worried and shy. As an extension of the sunnier aspects of Dahl’s brand, this book offers familiar whimsy paired with gentle, practical advice for early emotional resilience.

VERDICT A spirited and engaging addition for SEL collections.
