Synopsis
Today I feel silly. Mom says its the heat. I put rouge on the cat and gloves on my feet. Silly, cranky, excited, or sad -- everyone has moods that can change each day. Jamie Lee Curtis's zany and touching verse, paired with Laura Cornell's whimsical and original illustrations, helps kids explore, identify, and have fun with their ever-changing moods. So how do you feel today? Are you happy and walking on air? Or lonely and feeling very small? Or perhaps you just can't help feeling very very silly! AGE 3-7

Publisher and industry reviews
UK Kirkus review
'I'd rather feel silly, excited or glad, than cranky or grumpy, discouraged or sad. But moods are just something that happen each day. Whatever I'm feeling inside is okay.' Having achieved fame as an actress, Curtis has enjoyed considerable success in recent years as a children's writer. She lends the same wacky brand of humour to the subject of this latest book - moods. Those strange, confusing emotional interlopers that rule our days, are the target for the book's simple and empathetic rhymes. The reader is carried on an entertaining journey through the full spectrum of human feelings, as seen through a child's eyes. Aimed at the four to eight age group, the book offers a light-hearted and fun opportunity to discuss our reactions to life's ups and downs. Moods can be scary things for young children - both their own and other people's. The zany poems and wildly colourful and funny illustrations make the subject entertaining and easy for young readers to relate to and understand. At the end of the book there is a very funny 'Mood Wheel' for readers to select the word and facial expression which best reflects their mood! Original and practical, this is a book to share that will inevitably lighten the spirits. (Kirkus UK)
