I Feel Like I Like This Book!

This is our second encounter with Jamie Lee Curtis as an author and like the first (Where do Balloons Go?) they loved it! In this book we join a little girl as she takes a whirlwind tour of 13 different emotions, each told in that same sing-song rhyme that appears to be a staple of Curtis' writing. The rhymes are brought to life with the same riot of color illustrations that really seem to appeal to young readers! The kids especially liked how the colors used changed with the moods while maintaining their vivid shades (there is nothing gloomy or lackluster about this book). At the very end, there is a large picture of the girl in the story with a set of wheels that the kids can turn to see a selection of moods which was quite humorous and led to much discussion between the kids about how they were feeling right then and what types of things that have happened before made them feel angry or silly...or whatever...so it was a light, fun read, but also a good way to get more in depth discussion of moods, how they just happen sometimes and what types of activities/events make you feel certain ways...you know...like what makes you angry or sad...what makes you happy or what do you do when you just feeling silly or blue? I think Today I Feel Silly is best as a read aloud book...and the larger the group of kids you're reading to the more interesting the conversation after can get! I'd recommend this in a heart beat! We loved it!

Great book for boys and girls

This book teaches a wonderful lesson about moods and how they vary every day. You can tell its written by an actress, who likely has more dramatic moods than you and I, but the message is wonderful. I love reading this book to my six-month-old son.

Great Book for Kids

I recommend this great book for 4-8 year old children because its very cute and exciting. This book tells the story of a young girl expressing her different moods by the way she acts. This book helps children to learn that its ok to express yourself and to have different feelings about things. For example, when this little girl is silly she dresses like a star, and when she falls on her knee rollerblading she is very frustrated. This book would also be very enjoyable for kids. For example, this book is filled with many colorful illustrations making it fun for the children to look at the book. Also, the book has many crazy examples and is filled with many details. For example, when the little girl feels silly she puts rouge on her cat and gloves are her feet. This book can also relate to many kids and their feelings. For instance, when the little girl is left out on a play date she is very angry or when she is excited she sells cookies and lemonade. Children also often feel those ways when those incidents happen to them. All of these reasons are why this book is very fun and enjoyable for kids to read.

Today I feel happy!

My five year old niece and I enjoy reading this book together. We laugh at the silly pictures. The book does a good job explaining emotions and why we feel the way we do. It allows my niece to understand her feelings. You'll never tire of reading this delightful book.

Today I Feel Silly and Other Moods That Make My Day

Joyful, confused, angry and happy are just some of the many moods that can make or break your day. Today I feel silly and other moods that make my day by Jamie Lee Curtis is a hysterical story about a spunky little red head girl whose moods changes everyday with each flip of the page. The elaborate pictures change with each mood of the girl when she goes through her ups and downs. The Author does a brilliant job at adding detail to support how she is feeling and why she is feeling that way. Young and old would get a laugh out of this comical and entertaining book. I personally I love this book because it reminds me when I was little and my own random moods. Everyday you wake up new mood that changes you and the people around you in a good or bad way. After reading this book you might ask yourself, what's my mood today?
