My Review:
Centering around a neurodivergent boy's adventure on his first day of school, Guess How Marion Feels is a playful and delightful picture book that teaches young readers how to recognize different feelings through an interactive guessing game. Marion experiences all sorts of emotions as he engages in various activities at school. On each occasion, his fluffy cat CoCo gives detailed descriptions about Marion's facial expressions, hand gestures and body movements, and then invites the reader to guess how Marion feels at the time. The answer gets revealed on the next page.
My son and I had great fun reading the book and playing the game together. We covered the answers carefully to make sure no one could sneak a peek. After reading the clues, we raced to say our guesses out loud. Whoever got an accurate answer faster would score a point. Our little game ended in a tie. Neither of us guessed everything right though. Some emotions are apparently harder to identify than others!
The clever use of a game format and a cute animal narrator guarantees the book's appeal for young children, while the brightly colored, amusing illustrations add to its charm. More importantly, the story teaches about such valuable social skills as understanding feelings, deciphering body language, making friends, problem-solving, working as a team, and showing gratitude. It encourages kids to be kind, empathetic, considerate and communicative. Meanwhile, it provides useful information that parents and educators may need to support the youngsters as they learn to take better control of their emotions.
Enjoyable and educational, Guess How Marion Feels will make a welcomed addition to any child's bookshelf.
