Gotta say， there's something to be said for a book that covers the lesser-known hits （"Sometimes I feel like doing nothing" or "Sometimes I feel like kissing a sea lion"） alongside classics like feeling like crying。 Gotta say， there's something to be said for a book that covers the lesser-known hits （"Sometimes I feel like doing nothing" or "Sometimes I feel like kissing a sea lion"） alongside classics like feeling like crying。 。。。more

This book shows and talks about our different feelings and moods we may have。 The illustrations in the book are a great way for children to point out which emotions they feel。

Nice closing but in between lacked。

I kind of hate Todd Parr's illustration style。 I'm fine with a minimalist/childlike approach but his are done without charm， and the color combinations are extremely off-putting。The story redeems it， a little。 I'm not sure what he's describing really are feelings per se， but they do capture a nuance of mood and desires and how we own them in our world， so I'll let it go。 I kind of hate Todd Parr's illustration style。 I'm fine with a minimalist/childlike approach but his are done without charm， and the color combinations are extremely off-putting。The story redeems it， a little。 I'm not sure what he's describing really are feelings per se， but they do capture a nuance of mood and desires and how we own them in our world， so I'll let it go。 。。。more

Another self explanatory book title， this book expresses so many different feelings that children have and might want to express and they should express them and share them with everyone。

Katie ，

I like the variety of feelings illustrated in this book。

My three years old had trouble expressing his feelings and had tantrums all the times。 After reading this book， he is much better。 He can tell me how he feels especially when he is angry。 Great book for kids learning to express their feelings

For: readers looking for a feelings book that is activities-focused （"Sometimes I feel like dancing" etc。）Possible red flags: sad/mad feelings。 For: readers looking for a feelings book that is activities-focused （"Sometimes I feel like dancing" etc。）Possible red flags: sad/mad feelings。 。。。more

This review has been a long time in coming。 Todd Parr didn’t fall onto my list of TBRs in any conventional way （though I just looked it up and one of his books is on the Best Picture Books list）。 It was more of a way for me to volunteer at my kids’ school。 It shouldn’t be surprising that I used to volunteer annually for the Scholastic book fair。 When the Montessori school， then， had a famous author coming to read to the pre-schoolers through middle schoolers， they reached out to those of us who This review has been a long time in coming。 Todd Parr didn’t fall onto my list of TBRs in any conventional way （though I just looked it up and one of his books is on the Best Picture Books list）。 It was more of a way for me to volunteer at my kids’ school。 It shouldn’t be surprising that I used to volunteer annually for the Scholastic book fair。 When the Montessori school， then， had a famous author coming to read to the pre-schoolers through middle schoolers， they reached out to those of us who had a track record of supporting literacy and a weird way of sniffing books as they arrange them， and I was asked to help host Todd Parr。I had seen Parr’s books on the bookstore and library shelves and I bet you have， too。 They stand out for their simplicity， thick black lines， and raucously bright primary and secondary colors， not to mention some of his titles。 I’m not sure we had read any， at the time， though， so I checked some out from the library and then each of my kids bought a Todd Parr book to have signed at the event。 I have the most adorable photos of both my kids， in their classrooms， laughing at one of Parr’s comment。 （Will I be able to find these photo for you？ Yes， I did！） This about sums up the event for me， which is that Parr was wonderful with the kids: funny， sincere， and calming and definitely had his elementary school shtick going on。 He was also pleasant and professional， which I appreciated， rushing about making sure drawing boards were set up， kids were seated waiting in circles， and water bottles placed in key locations。It was a dream day， for me。Parr was a flight attendant before becoming an author。 He has churned out books since 2002， a TV show called Todd’s World since 2004， and has come by a number of awards， especially honoring his contributions to the environment and equality。 He partners with companies from Sesame Street （with shorts） to Cheerios， Toys R Us， and No Kid Hungry。 His books often have messages， from helping kids get in touch with their feelings to learning how to care for the world。 His series include the Otto books and the ToddWorld books。 They are sometimes silly， but often have a subtle gravity to them。 And with their being very easy to read and look at， they appeal to children at an age when they are just beginning to think about their world and how they should be in it。Here are some of his titles:The Don’t Worry BookBe Who You AreThe Kindness BookLove the WorldThe Joyful BookTeachers RockThe Goodbye BookThe Okay BookThis Is My HairDo’s and Don’tsThings That Make You Feel Good， Things That Make You Feel BadOkay to Be DifferentThe Peace BookThe Feelings BooksUnderwear Do’s and Don’tsThe truth is， if you have a child and they are going through something， it’s likely there is a Todd Parr book for that。 There are books about different seasons， events， and experiences， and especially about how a child relates to themselves and to the world。 Very peacenik-ky （or California-y） which many parents are happy to get on board with。 My son’s favorite， at the time， was of course Underwear Do’s and Don’ts， and mine was The Feelings Book， which I could personally use to read every once in a while。 There are detractors， of course， especially since Parr’s illustrations are rudimentary， though that is part of the point of them。 You don’t buy these picture books for their beautiful illustrations。 And， like other illustrators before him， Parr chooses to people his world with children and adults in every color of the rainbow except the colors of real skin—a way of making them both universal and encouraging of diversity。I like Parr’s books， celebrating the child who’s reading （or being read to） and spurring them on toward being a great citizen and one who’s comfortable in their own skin。 I would recommend a few of them make it to your child’s or grandchild’s bookshelf。For more information on Todd Parr， go to toddparr。com。 He has an active internet presence at his website。***REVIEW WRITTEN FOR THE STARVING ARTIST BLOG*** 。。。more

Sometimes I also feel like kissing a sea lion！

InformationalPre-K - 1st GradeI am honestly disappointed in this book。 I personally believe it showed more opinions than feelings。 I thought it would be a good book to read to a little girl I watch， but instead， she told me it made her confused with the examples it gave。

Josie E ，

I liked the colors of the book and the overall message。 Where the book lost me was the part about kissing a sea lion。 I have never felt like kissing a sea lion， however after reading da book perhaps I will。

Who doesn't love Todd Parr？ When I had this out to review， three people came by and exclaimed their love of his books。。。 this one in particular。A former kindergarten teacher who used it on the first day of school。A psychologist who uses it in group setting to validate someone's emotional spectrum。A mom who's kid was having a hard time dealing with anger。Todd Parr is awesome because his people and animals are post-racial， his print is easy for little kids to read， and he has the perfect mix of hy Who doesn't love Todd Parr？ When I had this out to review， three people came by and exclaimed their love of his books。。。 this one in particular。A former kindergarten teacher who used it on the first day of school。A psychologist who uses it in group setting to validate someone's emotional spectrum。A mom who's kid was having a hard time dealing with anger。Todd Parr is awesome because his people and animals are post-racial， his print is easy for little kids to read， and he has the perfect mix of hysterical and poignant that lightens a potentially serious topic in every book: especially this one。Use it for bibliotherapy in particular cases or class & family meetings to discuss the importance of accepting ALL our feelings。Recommended！！！ 。。。more

This book is very intentional in representing the vast array of feelings a child might experience throughout their daily lives。 I appreciate the way that the author talks about feelings in a way that validates them while maintaining a sense of silliness and lightheartedness as well。 This book would be great for a beginning of the year introduction in primary grades， as students learn the expectations for the classroom and how we can feel things， but how we act on how we feel has consequences。 Le This book is very intentional in representing the vast array of feelings a child might experience throughout their daily lives。 I appreciate the way that the author talks about feelings in a way that validates them while maintaining a sense of silliness and lightheartedness as well。 This book would be great for a beginning of the year introduction in primary grades， as students learn the expectations for the classroom and how we can feel things， but how we act on how we feel has consequences。 Lexile: 270LDRA: 16Six Traits: Ideas or Sentence Fluency 。。。more

It’s an amazing children’s book about different types of feelings with illustration and an important message。 I enjoyed it very much。

I love Todd Parr’s bright and simple illustrations。 A great one for talking about emotions and whims。

This book was very good。 I enjoyed reading this book to my nephew。 It’s definitely a good book to head start the academic development of the child。。。 well that’s what I believe。

Nikki Morrissey ，

The Feelings Book by Todd Parr helps teach kids that it is ok to have feelings。 Too many kids are taught to suppress their feelings， instead of learn how to recognize and cope with them in a healthy way。 This book was a great addition in our household where we are open about our feelings。

Wlitner ，

How does that song go？ We have no small emotions here？

Lupe ，

Wonderful resource to get kids to open up about feelings。 Feelings are not good vs。 bad。 They are complex。 This book gives many other examples as a springboard for a class discussion。

Was given to us at a government funded play group designed for pre-school aged children。 Short and simple， perfect for young kids learning about their feelings。

I really liked this book it was different。 This book talk about feelings and emotions to help children explore them。 It talks about different moods children can experience in a silly way。 I think this would be a good book to have in the hospital because it would be a way to know how a child is feeling。 Sometimes it is hard for a child to express their emotions and it is easier for them to open up through a book or an art activity。 I think a good activity to do for this book is to have the patien I really liked this book it was different。 This book talk about feelings and emotions to help children explore them。 It talks about different moods children can experience in a silly way。 I think this would be a good book to have in the hospital because it would be a way to know how a child is feeling。 Sometimes it is hard for a child to express their emotions and it is easier for them to open up through a book or an art activity。 I think a good activity to do for this book is to have the patient draw or paint on a white sheet of paper the emotion they are experiencing after reading the book。 This way we can know how to best help them。 。。。more

Cute illustrations and good intro to talking about feelings with your kids。

Dzana ，

This story is a great way to teach children about feeling different emotions。 Throughout the story each emotion in the book is expressed through the characters body language and facial expression。 Say a classmate took a toy from another student， instead of fitting over the toy they could express their feelings。
