The young girl's mother is present in most of the scenarios and she is there to help and support the young girl. Opening line/Sentence: “Today I feel silly.”īrief Book Summary: A young girl talks about the various moods that she feels and why she is feeling a particular way. Theme(s): Understanding moods/emotions & SEL Title: Today I Feel Silly & Other Moods That Make My Day The final page of the book also provides an interactive element where you can change the characters eyes and mouth to represent different emotions. I believe this story is written and illustrated in a way that will not only keep the interest of young readers, but also provide them with several opportunities to think/discuss how certain emotions make them feel and ways they might turn negative feelings into more positive ones. Throughout this colorful story, the main character feels many emotions such as joy, confusion, and loneliness which may be difficult for young readers to navigate. For example, she warns 'you better stay clear' because she feels angry that her diverse group of friends left her out one day. Written as a rhyming poem, this story uses age-appropriate language to explain what happened to cause the emotion and how that emotion makes her feel. This children's book created by the spectacular duo of Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell follows a young girl as she describes her different moods on different days. I will help the children that cannot write their names yet. After reading this book, I will allow the children to come up to the chart one by one and write their name under how they are feeling. The chart will also have diffrent sections labled, happy, excited, cranky, angry, silly, and sad along with a small picture of a face showing each feeling. Oh, and I love, love, love the cat (hahaha).Įxtension Activity: I will create a chart that is titled: 'How do you feel today?'.

The back page is also great for matching words because you have to match the top word (mood) with the bottom word. This book also has a fun interactive back page in which children can change the little girls eyes and mouth according to her mood. I cannot wait to read this book to my class. I wish this was not my first time reading this. Not to mention the wonderful, fun, and detailed pictures on each page. This book uses great descriptive words and explains why the cute little girl is feeling the diffrent moods that she feels. I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE BOOK!!! This is a great book that not only has rhyming words but introduces a variety of diffrent moods and feelings other than the basic happy, sad, and angry.
