A Fun Book for All Ages

I discovered this book while babysitting for two boys, ages 7 and 4. They chose it as their bedtime story and I read it to them in many different voices- louder, happier and faster on the cheerful days, slow and deeper on the bored or sad days. The kids absolutely loved it. And so did I! I have since bought four copies of the book. I gave two as gifts to 6 and 10 year old girls and one to my 21-year-old sister during a bad few weeks away at school. The fourth copy is archived in my own bookshelf. I have yet to meet a kid (from ages 4 to 23!) who has not loved this book. The younger kids love the pictures- there is always something new to discover in the unique, whimsical scenes. My sister and I laugh at the bad hair day and the clever rhyming. This is a book I will continue to buy and recommend to others. It's an absolute storytelling delight.

Names for feelings

In this book, a little girl explains her moods and why she feels that way, all in rhymes. The girl feels alternately silly, joyful, or cranky, and a lot of other moods as well. The situations that put her in these moods are quite believable and real, like learning that she will have sibling, or tattling on a friend. The book is not scary, and the story is engaging. It has about 550 words.

FUN book to read to your Daughter

I bought this book for my 20 month old daughter after she enjoyed being read "I'm Gonna Like Me" also written by Jamie Lee Curtis. I think this is a wonderfully written book; the sentences rhyme and are rather short so as I read it to her, I can put emotion into my voice with each mood the character is going through. Although I think the words and pictures are a bit too advanced for a two year old to grasp, my enthusiasm while reading this book keeps my daughter very attentive and we can also point out the illustrations together. I will say that the character in the book is a girl and the pages mostly relate to "girl things" like braiding hair, having a boyfriend, going to the movies with her mom and so on. I don't think a boy may be as interested in the book. I personally don't feel offended by Jamie Lee Curtis' reference in to book to the character having a boyfriend or a crush on a teacher. That is just a part of life and emotions girls feel at times and it is addressed in a fun loving way. As a mom who once experience those same things, I feel comfortable teaching her myself about feelings toward boys not relying on a book to educate her. This book can be used to be open up to such discussions. At the end of the book is a 3D wheel of a face and as you turn the wheel the expression on the girls face changes from happy to angry to lonely and so on. Overall, a fun book for both child & parent!!!

SIlly to sad

Today I Feel Silly is a great book. Not only does it keep your attention the whole way through with the funny things happening but also with the colorful illistrations. I enjoyed reading this book because i know that i have felt the same way as the little girl in the story. I like knowing that the little girl could be a real person just telling how she feels. I also like the "How do you feel" wheel in th back of the book, because i know that when i am done reading the book i can use it and see all of the differnt funny faces. This is a great book and i suggest it for little ones.

Today I Feel Silly Is A great book!

Today i feel silly is a great book especially for ages 5 or 6. I loved how she took somthing as simple as the way we feel each day and made it into this great book. The illistrations were great because they were colorful and very exciting for everyone to look at. With rhyming words in some parts of the book children will stay interested more easily. Children love the fact that they can realte to the book because they have have felt all of these feelings. I suggest this book for children ages 5-7. It is A GREAT BOOK.
