This book is great to talk about what it means to feel a certain way, as well as explaining what makes a person feel those emotions. Young readers sometimes get upset or overly excited, and talking through emotions with an expressive text such as this is a great resource and tool for the classroom.

Another book about feelings and how we feel each day. This book follows this little girl and how she feels each day and why she feels that way. Another book to use when doing lessons of feelings, how we feel and why, how we should act when we don't feel great, etc. The words are rhyming too which is great since it catches the ears of little ones. There are some funny parts that the children will love too. The teacher can stop at some of the pages and ask how the children in her class would feel at each one of the activities in the book. The end of the book also has where the children can change the face of the girl in the book to how they are feeling that day which I like!

I love reading this with my lower primary kids and discussing feelings and appropriate ways to cope with those feelings.

4,5 Una interesante narración, en primera persona. La vivencia de una niña desde la naturalidad.

I was immediately drawn into this realistic fiction picture book when I saw that it was written and illustrated by the award winning literary duo, Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell. Furthermore, while reading this book, my attention continued to be captivated through its engaging combination of clever word rhymes coupled with eye capturing illustrations. Even more notable is the lesson this children's book teaches its young readers; as it fosters the way for children to begin understanding their own feelings, and exemplifies how to appropriately deal with these sometimes difficult and confusing emotions.

This book would be a beneficial literary resource to utilize during guided reading practices and individual reading in first and second grade classrooms, and as an enjoyable and educational read aloud practice in both those grades and even younger, such as in a kindergarten classroom.

Additionally, the expressive poetry, sentence structure, and word flow implemented throughout this story effectively captures the attention of its young audience, while still being worded simple enough for earlier readers to not be easily confused by the context of the story line due to not knowing the meaning of difficult words they likely have never come across while reading on their own before.

In conclusion, I found this children's picture book to be a fun, educational, and engaging literary resource that I plan to use for a variety of reading activities in my future elementary classroom.

one of my favorites. great illustrations. franny the cat steals the show. turner speculates that the mom dyes her hair orange in order to look more like her daughter in the midst of a big family change coming up (little brother on the way). this book sets a nice precedent for noticing, acknowledging, and ultimately feeling your feelings. "whatever i'm feeling inside is okay."

This is a good book that shows that it is okay to feel many emotions and words that go along with those emotions. This is a good social emotional book to read to children to help children learn about their emotions. It showcases more emotions than the usual few taught to children and may expose children to better ways to describe how they feel. The pictures were colorful and people's facial expressions were very distinct so the reader can more easily infer how the characters are feeling.

A fun book that asks children: how do I feel today? The interactive last page let's them spin facial expression into funny feelings like angry/excited. The rhymes add cadence and the images offer opportunities to interpret why the little girl is experiencing the feelings that she's having.

I have conflicting feelings about this book. On the positive side, when I seen Jamie Lee Curtis wrote this book I immediately checked it out. How did I not know she had so many children's books?
The colors are bright and appealing, the cartoon like sketch is fun and all the random objects in the background are amusing to analyze. I absolutely enjoyed how the main character expressed her emotions. It encourages young readers to express and explore their feelings by giving them a vocabulary to do so. The book uses emotions such as silly, bad, grumpy, angry, joyful, confused, nervous, quiet and so many more. As a teacher you can not expect children to use their words to express feelings if they are not taught how. On the downside of this book, it mentions having a crush on the older teacher- which I would not feel comfortable reading in my classroom. However, after reading this book I will be checking out more of Jamie Lee Curtis's children's books!

This is a great book to use when covering feeling identification.The illustrations are colorful and bright. The book really does a good job of breaking things down on a kids level. also a great wheel activity on the last page that you spin around to show the mood your child is in that day.

This book is a good way for children to learn about the different moods and how they can relate to those moods on a day to day basis. When I was little my mom used to read this book to me and I loved it! It made me laugh and relate to the character in the story in every way. Would definitely read this book to children who have different mood swings everyday.

I wish these books about emotions, like Today I Feel Silly: Other Moods That Make My Day, also gave at least a little attention to the concept of being responsible for regulating your emotions -- that no matter how you feel, you cannot behave however you'd like. I'd say that's a struggle for children. Children have no problem feeling emotions, and yes, labeling them and being able to understand them is helpful, but more than that, children need to know healthy and socially acceptable ways to manage their emotions. And there's none of that here.
