A BOOK of RHYMES

about emotions and experience

for CHILDREN and PARENTS

to read, talk about and ENJOY TOGETHER


Children, as part of their normal development, intensely experience a wide range of emotions. Both parents and children may struggle, at times, with how to understand the meaning and value of such experiences. This is true not only about the intensity with which some emotions are felt but in particular about some emotions which are associated unfortunately with negative meanings, such as fear and rage. Creatures attempts to provide one, of many possible ways, to accept and understand the value of all emotions. Each emotion is given a time and place where its intensity can be experienced, understood, valued and appreciated for the personal meaning and truth the emotion contains and reveals. Creatures uses images, form, rhyme and color to present children with both the familiar and new; all in a boundless arena which, to the child, is always larger than life.

Parents reading with their children can provide one of the most valuable and memorable experiences in a child's life. In Creatures, the added dimension of human emotions are brought to life throughout the book's thirteen full color chapters with characters such as Creatures Happy, Sad, Smart and Fear. Creatures is an enjoyable way for families to develop ways of identifying and understanding familiar, and sometimes difficult, emotions in an atmosphere of acceptance and tolerance, as well as encouraging thinking, discussion and communication. The book's playful rhymes and colorful artwork invite beginning readers to listen and participate, while its varied vocabulary, captivating images and depth of meaning will challenge older, more accomplished readers and ensure a place in your home library for years to come.
