Picture Books for Eliciting Emotional Expressions

[Jiansheng Guo]

Dear Colleagues,

I'm planning to collect some narratives that contain emotional
expressions, and am wondering if there is a good picture story book for
this purpose.

I would like to see how children (from 3 to 9 years) label emotions and
describe the cause and consequence of the characters' emotional
reactions to emotional arousing events.  Ideally, the story should
contain events that might arouse happiness, sadness, anger, fear,
surprise, shame and pride.

If you have used any books good for this purpose, or if you have any
references to previous studies using such books, I would be most
appreciative to know.  Thanks for your kind help in advance.

All my best wishes,
Guo
