a guessing alphabet of feelings, words, and other cool stuff
Hausman, Bonnie
1999
For each letter of the alphabet, presents an emotion, a situation in which the reader might feel that emotion, and objects beginning with the same letter.
Attempts to help parents and educators better understand boys are they truly are by showing how males, beginning at a young age, are systematically steered away from their emotional lives toward silence, solitude, and distrust.
Presents advice for dealing with problems involving monsters, being awake at night, germs, relatives and strangers, shots, little brothers and sisters, dogs, bugs, vegetables, doctors, dentists, math, and kisses.
Explores the subject of emotions by answering such questions as "Why are silly games so much fun," "Why do I cry when I'm feeling sad," and "Why are some people scared of mice or insects?".
