Summary: Today I Feel Silly Is A great book!
Review: 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.

Summary: SIlly to sad
Review: 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.

Summary: I would have given it 4 stars, but my kids gave it 3.
Review: Today I Feel Silly is a rhyming book about a free-spirited little girl who narrates little stories about the days she feels different emotions - silly, angry, joyful, confused, discouraged, etc. The illustrations are fun and informal watercolors, and definitely well-matched to the warm tone that author Jamie Lee Curtis conveys. The main point of the story is a sort of "I'm okay - you're okay" message about how it's all right to feel all kinds of emotions, not just the positive ones.

I picked up this book on a whim, mainly influenced by the fact that I like Jamie Lee Curtis from what little I do know about her as a person ( I know, bad, bad, bad). My overall impression is that it is cute and fun, but my kids didn't seem to respond much to it - this despite the fact that there's an interactive "emotion wheel" built into the last page. They fiddled with it for a bit and quickly ended up pulling the inner disc out of it in an attempt to see what was inside. I don't think it was put together with realistic kids in mind. Sigh.

Well it was a nice effort Jamie, but I don't think we'll be looking into your other kids' books.

Summary: Wow, a GOOD book by a celebrity
Review: Usually the celebrity authors' books are not my favorites, but Ms. Curtis' is a pleasant surprise! This is a rhyming story about feeling different things on different days, and at the end there is a "mood wheel" where your child can dial in the eyes and mouth to show how THEY feel. The illustrations are full of lively, interesting detail, too. A recommended picture book!
