LITERACY TIP
Being able to express yourself verbally is an important skill. Anger, frustration and sadness can cause children to act out if they don't know how to express those difficult emotions. In this book the twins have many different emotions including frustration, jealousy and fear. Talk with your children about the different emotions that the sisters portray, and how your class feels the best way to express those emotions would be.
Some other books that you can use to discuss expressing
emotions with your class include:
