The book “happy tank” helped me feel calm and relaxed. The best bits was when it explained happy tapping which really helped me focus and relax during my SATs. I recommend this book to any year 5 that is stressing out about SATs next year or anyone stressing out in general. 5 star book that really helped me.

I think the book ‘Happy Tank’ is a good book because it tells you how to be calm and all about your emotions. The most useful thing in the book is when it talks about breathing and if you are feeling stressful you can read the book to make you feel happy again. It was a great book to read.

Happy 😃 take is a good book 📚 because it t teaches you
To be kind and honest 🤝🤝 and not to be mean to
Other people around you and you and others can be kind -
I really love the books and it helps me calm down if I have a negative emotion! I love how you went in your way to get this for us miss Frankish and I’m going to miss you when Mr Andrewson takes over

I think that the happy tank is wonderful. It shows us different exercises on how to stay happy and calm. I liked the breathing exercises, because they made me feel calm and relaxed. I recommend trying the breathing exercises to stay relaxed and mindful. In the book it says “happiness is a choice,” and I agree because you do not need to be happy all the time. The book also says “the world would be boring if we were happy all the time and have no other emotions,” this is true as no one is perfect and doesn’t need to always be happy because it is okay to feel other emotions.

❤️My thoughts about the book is wonderful! It made me calm and happier! It makes me want to read it everyday and use the ideas that make you happy! The best parts for me are: breathing in and out and count to ten, do something mindful and having a jar or a glass then writing good things you did throughout the day and read them at the end. It teaches us to be happier in a fun and entertaining way! I will read it everyday. ❤️
