Numbers and Emotions
Book Summary
Numbers and Emotions is a book in English designed for children aged 1 to 4 that combines learning numbers from 1 to 10 with the identification of ten basic emotions. Each number is associated with a feeling and a gesture or concept, making it easier for little ones to internalize and express what they feel. The pages feature embossing to trace the shape of the numbers, stimulating tactile and visual learning. With block lettering, sweet illustrations, and bold colored backgrounds, this story invites parents and children to share a moment of play and dramatic reading.
What is it about?
The book presents the numbers from one to ten, each linked to a specific emotion (such as joy, sadness, surprise, or fear) and a gesture or idea that helps the child recognize and express it. Thanks to the embossed numbers, little ones can trace their shape with their finger, reinforcing sensory learning. The illustrations, set against solid, vibrant backgrounds, make the drawings stand out to capture attention at an early age. The text, written in block lettering, is simple and allows adults to perform a dramatic reading, gesturing the emotions to make the experience more interactive and fun.
