Book Reviews of Today I Feel Silly: And Other Moods That Make My Day
Book Review: My College Class Loved it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I taught at a university and wondered how my students (ages 18-50+) would respond to being read a book before I actually started teaching. The response was overwhelming, it was great! Some students would come to class just to see what book I had picked out, this was one of the first ones. By the end of the semester each student had their own copy b/c they enjoyed it so much, some were reading to their younger siblings, some of my older students shared it with their grandchildren. It is a treasure of a book, don't pass it up!!!
Summary of Today I Feel Silly: And Other Moods That Make My Day
A child's emotions range from silliness to anger to excitement, coloring and changing each day.Jamie Lee Curtis has starred in many movies, but she says that the children's books she has written mean more to her than any of her films. She and artist Laura Cornell have previously collaborated on two bestselling books: Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born and When I Was Little: A Four-Year-Old's Memoir of Her Youth. This time, we follow a little girl with curly red hair through 13 different moods, beginning with silly: "Today I feel silly. / Mom says it's the heat. I put rouge on the cat / and gloves on my feet." Of course, silly soon turns to grumpy and mean... to excited... to confused, and so on. Recognizing one's own mood swings is a developmental milestone, one that some adults haven't yet mastered! Cornell's watercolor illustrations--wildly expressive and energetic--effectively capture the volatility of our redheaded star. Whether she is happy or mad or dancing a solo in jazz, she is always "full of pizzazz," and this book is, too. A clever mood wheel on the last page allows young readers to change the little girl's expression--both her eyes and mouth. This is silly fun with a smart lesson for children from ages 4 to 8. --Marcie Bovetz
