Description
MY FIRST EMOTION METER
Book summary
This interactive book in Basque invites little ones to explore the world of emotions alongside Inspector Drilo and the Emis. Through an ingenious spinning wheel mechanism, children can identify and measure the intensity of their basic feelings. A playful and educational tool designed to foster emotional intelligence from early childhood, combining reading with the reader's active participation.
What is it about?
The work presents the emotion meter, an invention by Inspector Drilo that allows for the recognition of fundamental emotions. Readers, accompanied by the characters, learn to point on a wheel to the emotion they are feeling and indicate whether it is "a little" or "a lot." In this way, the book becomes a game of self-discovery where the child not only listens to a story, but participates actively, verbalizing and identifying their own emotional states. The text and illustrations work together to normalize the expression of feelings and offer an initial emotional vocabulary.
