Summary: A captivating, absolutely beautiful book!
Review: From the moment I opened this book I was in love. It is amazing how the artists transform ordinary fruits and vegetables into loveable and wildly different characters. The text is simple for a child to understand, and wonderfully written. If you're looking for a way to talk with your children about emotions, look no further. I read this book to my daughters preschool class and we loved it! I never thought a book could make me want to give an affectionate hug to a green pepper, but this one does! Buy it for every child you know. Heck, buy it for every adult you know too!

Summary: Entertaining and unusual
Review: Got this book for my 2 yr old for Xmas. She was a little taken aback at first. Kinda scared by all the weird faces of the fruit. But then she enjoyed it. But the story was a bit over her head with the content---so I'd go for an older child reading this. Talks about "excited or jealous" and yes, 2 yr olds can get the gist of that---but overall?
But we do enjoy the artwork and faces, but I would'nt recommend the story for 2s. Try the 3rd birthday!
Lots of colors---the veggies and fruit were bold and bright and really neat! I love the strawberry kissing!

Summary: FANTASTIC ARTWORK/GRAPHICS
Review: HOW ARE YOU PEELING? is a excellent book with amazing artwork and bright contrasting colors. I'm sure most young children will really enjoy it. The vegetables and fruits are so cute! Ha. I 'feel' that while it encourages children to express their emotions it doesn't tell them WHICH emotion is BEST to express in the situation. As long as I keep this in mind and encourage my child to be aware of her feelings and, in time, learn WHEN and HOW is the best time to express them, this book can be a fantastic LEARNING experience as well as entertaining! Emotions without boundaries = possible temper tantrums! I guess my having a two-year old explains a lot, huh? HOW ARE YOU PEELING is a very cute, colorful and entertaining book--I never knew vegetables were so sensitive! Ha. (Two more things that could have made this book even better would have been to mention that vegetables and fruits are YUMMY to eat; also it would have been a nice extra touch if it had scratch and sniff features. Kids adore that!)

Summary: Priceless pictures...but terribly fragile
Review: I love this book and bought it for my children, 3 years and 18 months old. They love the pictures, and who wouldn't? It gives meaning to the word clever and it's message is valuable as well (although I will say it doesn't leave any emotion out, including shouting and yelling, which for some parents may be a concern as they may see it as encouraging tantrums) The one and only thing I don't like about this book, and it sounds weird, but the construction of it is not very good. We had it for only 2 months and my daughter accidentally stepped on it and all but 3 of the pages came out. But, for someone who has older children or just simply wants to give it as a gift...it's adorable you must trust me that you will love it, I just don't recommend it for toddlers, if you do buy it for a toddler, I'd keep it in safe place, away from little hands.

Summary: Such a Fun Unique Way to Discuss Emotions with Young Kids!
Review: I was reading how important it is for parents to help thier young children identify the different feelings that they experience. This is the first step in the process of planting the seeds of compassion and empathy for the feelings of others. Who would ever think we could turn to fruits and veggies to teach the lessons! These are truly works of edible art portraying such feelings as anger, fear, surprise, joy, pride, sadness, and jealousy. My two sons love this book and so do I. We read it all the time and sometimes use it to open up discussion about specific reasons that they are feeling a certain way and what they can do or say to others. Even my 3 year old "reads" it to me all by himself. I'm so glad that I found out about this book in my favorite source of quick-read parenting sanity, called "The Pocket Parent." This A-Z guide (written exclusively for parents of preschoolers) offers hundreds of tips to try when the kids challenge your sanity. If you have a 2, 3, 4, or 5-year-old, consider adding these two books to your personal library to refer to again and again.

Summary: Totally fun, cute and thoughtful.
Review: Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers are playing with their food and we are the lucky recipients of their charming and amusing latest effort, How Are You Peeling? Foods With Moods. The simple rhyming text discussing emotions we all feel at times...happy, sad, grumpy or worried, shy, insecure, amused or confused...to name a few, compliments the amazing fruit and vegetable sculptures. It's hard to believe an onion, kiwi, radish or mushroom (to name but a few) could express such emotions, but they do. A vibrant, visual treat the entire family will enjoy reading and discussing, this is a book that should find its way onto everyone's bookshelf!

Summary: Beautiful art
Review: This is one of the most amazing children's books I have ever laid eyes on. It is the perfect coffee table book and it is the perfect book to share with the ones you love. It is a gift I keep giving, it is a reminder of how beautiful the ordinary things in life truly are. Buy it for yourself and you will love it too.
