Category: Feelings"Amused? Confused? Frustrated? Surprised? Try these feelings on for size."This is a book that asks all the right questions. And leaves you feeling great no matter what the answers are!"Who'd have dreamed that produce could be so expressive, so charming, so lively and so funny?...Freymann and...Elffers have created sweet and feisty little beings with feelings, passions, fears and an emotional range that is, well, organic."-The New York Times Book Review

Foods with Moods!

I have two sons -- the younger is expressive and outgoing; the older is reserved, reserved, reserved. When we started reading this book, my younger son would mimic all the pictures, and without knowing the words, he would come up with the emotions. Now both boys do this -- figure out the emotions of the food and imagine conversations among them. We rarely read the text, which while funny and rhyming, doesn't excite me as much as what is coming out of my own children's mouths.

I find it extraordinary that this all came about through supermarket produce, but I'm not looking this gift horse in the mouth.

Buy it especially for the pages on jealousy, and shyness, and comforting one another, and what do you do when you're afraid of something. Also for the look of pride on the face of the "adult" pepper.

Two other great choices for emotions (especially for boys) are "I Love You Because You're You" by Liza Baker and "Llama Llama Red Pajama" by Anna Dewdney -- Llama Llama goes through impatience, frustration, tantrums, fear, and comfort.

Love this book!

Love this book! Its hilarious, and discusses feelings in a way that doesn't intimidate most kids by being too serious. Reccomended.

better than expected

I love this author's books and have Food For Thought already. This How Are You Peeling? book is a step beyond the former because it goes beyond simply labeling and illustrating emotions. In elementary poetic rhyme, it asks questions of the reader and gives simple hypothetical scenarios to which the child can respond. (This author's books are fun to take to the grocery store with your young child. My child enjoyed matching the fruits and vegetables on the shelves to those photographed in the book.)

Awesome!

I love this book. I am an Elementary Education student at ECU; when I take this book into the classrooms, the children go crazy! They think the book is hilarious and I agree.
