Fruit Doesn't Feel

Learning about big feelings is as easy as A-B-C with this imaginative alphabet book.



On the heels of his popular Painting With... series comes Joshua James Cole's newest offering, an alphabet book series that introduces important early education concepts. In Fruit Doesn't Feel, readers learn about the ABCs while also learning about emotions.



In Fruit Doesn't Feel, each lively spread provides a fruit of a certain letter experiencing an emotion with the same letter, providing children an opportunity to identify big feelings and how they might present themselves or make us feel. Using a combination of both common and little known fruits, the book's clever and alliterative text, including "Are grapes grumpy?" and "Is dragon fruit disenchanted?" goes on to provide a definition of that emotion and also a silly and imaginative exchange by the fruit further explaining its big feeling.



Families and educators of young children will welcome this imaginative opportunity to explore and discuss emotions, how they make them feel, and how to cope with them. A glossary of fruits is included at the back of the book including ways to use the book at home and in the classroom to better understand reactions to our own emotions and those of others.
