5-Star Editorial Review

"Disappointment is a Wave (Emotion Series) by Lauren Martin is an educational picture book for young children. Disappointment is a common emotion we all feel regularly. Unfortunately, children feel it too. There's no need for concern because Lauren Martin is back with another in her series, this one dealing specifically with disappointment. Like some of Lauren's other books, this one focuses on teaching children that they are in control when it comes to their emotions. They will learn how to see things differently and be provided with the tools they need to combat negative feelings. Don't delay in purchasing this useful book as it will help your child enormously. Disappointment is a Wave (Emotion Series) impressed me from the very first page. It's no secret that I have had the enjoyment of reading some of Lauren Martin's other books, and I can confidently say that with each one I have read, they have only become better. Lauren has a way of grabbing the reader's attention from the moment they see the front cover. As soon as I saw her name, I didn't hesitate in choosing to read it. I always enjoy reading Lauren's work and she has some seriously awesome illustrative skills that children will love and appreciate. I hope that she continues to write these important and entertaining books for children to learn from, and I look forward to reading them." Reviewed by Amy Louise Hill for Readers' Favorite
