Welcome to the Grand Hotel of Feelings, where all kinds of feelings come and stay. Every guest has unique needs. Anger, for example, is very loud and needs plenty of space to scream and shout.

Sometimes the hotel gets very busy – feelings big and small check in and out. It can be tempting to turn the more difficult feelings away, or to try to turn them into new feelings, but you have to give them space to come and go in their own time, because all feelings are just passing through. At the Grand Hotel of Feelings, there is room for everyone! This is a delightfully imaginative book that is both a fun read-aloud and also a great way to engage children in conversations about managing emotions.

If Creature is not a potato, what could they possibly be???’I am a potato’, says Creature. ‘No, you’re not,’ says Dog. ‘Do you grow underground? Do you have lots of eyes? No? Then you’re not a potato.’ ‘Then WHAT AM I?’ wails Creature. Cat comes along. ‘Do you breathe air? Do you eat and poo? Do you move around? You are an animal!’ But what kind of animal are they? As their identity crisis continues, more animals join the conversation, asking questions and narrowing down the possiblities until they eventually work out the answer. This is a silly, delightful book that nonetheless teaches an important lesson about using the scientific method to draw conclusions by observing, asking questions and eliminating possibilities. Vividly brought to life in Elliot Kruszynski’s punchy, graphic illustrations, taxonomy has never been this fun.
