I have found some books for kids on feelings and things to say and do-suitable for ASD?

I was xmas shopping yesterday and went into 'The Works' (cheap book shop) and bought two sets of board books for babies entitled 'Things I say and do' and 'How do I feel'. There are 10 mini board books in a square cardboard tube in each set and I have bought them for DS 2 aged 4 with ASD and he likes them. I thought they may help him to understand some of the things we are trying to teach him to understand in a mini social stories kind of way, the titles are:

Things I say and do;
I can say please
I can say thank you
I can say sorry
I can say hello
I can say goodbye
I can share
I can tidy up
I can take turns
I can listen
I can be quiet

How do I feel'
I feel happy
I feel sad
I feel angry
I feel scared
I feel sleepy
I feel hungry
I feel shy
I feel proud
I feel playful
I feel brave

They are £5 each and also in a 3 for £10 offer with lots of other kids books. DS seems to like them, I am hoping we can read them with DS and they will help him to understand some of the skills we are trying to teach him. They're aimed at very young toddlers but DS is 4 and he likes them at the moment.

Looks like the mainstream version of a social story to me

They sound great, who is the author?

These look really good.

I've just had a quick google and found some of them on Amazon too, but it sounds like they're much cheaper in the Works.

Things I Say and Do

How Do I feel?

Thanks Moosemama-those are them, and they're great. One or two have 'negative emotions' in and Ds doesn'y like that so we'll take those ones out but I think they will be very good for DS for learning some social skills.
