Today I Feel Silly & Other MOODS That Make My Day
Author: Jamie Lee Curtis

Year of Publication: 1998
Genre: Fiction
Horn Book Review: 3
Summary: This book is about a young girl that experiences different emotions everyday. It goes through what she does during the day to put her in the mood that she is in.
Summary of Professional Reviews: The reviewers seem to believe that this book portrays the emotions in a very real way. Some children need to know why they are feeling a certain way, and this book helps to explain some of the things that could cause an emotion. The illustrations are expressive, detailed, and inviting, and help convey what is occurring in the book.
Review by Sarah Custard: I think this book is a good way for children to learn about different emotions and see what could cause them. I like the fact that this book rhymes because children tend to find rhyming books more enjoyable and fun to read. The illustrations really help the reader understand what is happening on that page because everything is shown in great detail.
This book could be useful when teaching children about emotions and feelings. When they are young, they may not understand what they are feeling or why they are feeling a certain way; they may need to find ways to express how they are feeling and understand what is happening. It could also be good to show the children how detailed their pictures should be for their kid writing. The pictures need to include a lot of details for the reader to see what is happening in their stories.
