Wild Feelings
Wild Feelings | David Milgrim
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Do you ever feel as stubborn as a mule? Or as chicken as a chicken? Of course you do. Everyone does. In this lighthearted look at feelings, David Milgrim tenderly and humorously sketches the emotional range-from awkward to unnoticed, to really, rrrreally mad. Ultimately reassuring, this is a loving look at the normal, natural feelings we all have.

paulettevp Classroom Application:
This book would be wonderful for a guided reading during small groups. It‘s short which means it can be read quickly. It shows various examples of metaphor and can help students better understand figure of speech. It would also be useful when discussing feelings with students and what is appropriate and not appropriate for each one.

4⭐️ An interesting book on feelings. It uses pictures and great imagery to discuss feeling like an animal. Are you going “batty”, or lonely like the wolf. It‘s all perfectly natural and everyone feels that way at sometime too. A lovely story with fun illustrations.
