When I Feel Jealous

By Cornelia Maude Spelman and Kathy Parkinson

A bear cub describes situations that make her jealous: when someone has something she wants, when someone is good at something she wants to be good at, and when someone else gets all the attention. "Jealousy is a prickly, hot, horrible feeling. I don't like feeling jealous, but—everybody feels jealous sometimes." The little bear finds ways to make herself feel better—she talks to someone about how she feels and then does something pleasant—and soon the jealous feeling goes away.An author's note for parents and teachers is included.

Reviews for When I Feel Jealous

[kerrymarsh · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

When I feel jealous is a wonderful book for toddlers through to early primary children on feeling jealous. It normalises the feeling by helping children to understand that everyone feels this way from time to time, even adults. There are some nice suggestions for dealing with the feeling and some pointers for parents. A lovely resource.
