Summary: A kiss means i love you, a wave means hello, a smile means I'm happy, a tug means lets go.
This book shows all the motions people do to show how they feel.
Personal reaction: Cute book because its simple and really does help little kids to notice what people so when they do expressions.
Classroom ideas: I would read this to my students and get feedback from them on how they show their emotions and what they see other people do to show them.
