Book: In That Uh-Oh Feeling, Claire is feeling uncomfortable about the attention her soccer coach is giving her. Too much flattery and too much contact give her that uh-oh feeling. By seeking help from others and talking about her feelings, the situation is resolved happily.
Claire listened to her feelings and spoke to it about her friends, who confirmed to her what she already knew – to listen to her feelings and tell someone she can trust. As always, all the books in the I’m a Great Little Kid Series offered great lessons, but wrapped into stories that are enjoyable and don’t sound preachy.
