Created by The School of Life, An Emotional Menagerie is an engaging collection of 26 short poems, each bringing an emotion to life through the metaphor of an animal – from Anticipation as a panther to Zest as a hummingbird. With vivid rhymes and striking illustrations by Rachael Saunders, this book gives children aged 5 to 11 the tools to better understand and articulate their inner world.
Each poem encourages thoughtful conversation about how emotions feel in the body, how they affect behaviour, and how to respond with kindness and curiosity. Whether shared at home, in the classroom, or during emotional check-ins, this poetic resource nurtures empathy, confidence, and communication skills in young readers.
