One of a series of books aimed at Key Stage 1 pupils which will be of use both at home and at school. 'Lonely' explains that it is a feeling you get when you are all on your own. It can make you feel sad too, or bored, or even angry. It happens, for instance, when one moves house and hasn't yet made new friends, or when one is left out of games or perhaps when one's parents go away for a time. Finding things to do that help is important - possibly getting a hobby that other people will find interesting, or telling an adult who can introduce you to new friends. Talking about your loneliness is important. If you see someone looking as if they don't care about what is happening around them, or if they always seem to sit by themselves, then perhaps you can invite them to play, or sit with them and make friends. Everyone feels lonely sometimes, and that is normal. The pictures are expressive and compliment the text nicely. Because this series is aimed at quite young children, a picture glossary and a short index are included. Great for PHSE.
