A friend of mine has a four-year-old autistic son. I asked what gifts he would like, and she mentioned that he is learning about emotions at his school, and that books on this topic would be nice. Any recommendations for good books about feelings/emotions that would be appropriate? Thanks!

Different Roads to Learning has a lot of great resources for kids with autism.

We have this book- The way I feel. I like it because it covers hard emotions to describe (jealousy for example), and "defines" them through a story so you can relate a situation to the feeling. The illustrations really go along with the feeling. There is also no judgment associated with the feeling, if that makes sense.

I thought this was a great book. DS is actually afraid of it tho. Seriously, the pictures scare him, especially Scared and Mad. Bums me out, cuz I like it. So, I'd recommend it, too, even if my DS won't do this one.
