Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Could there ever be a Boynton book I do not love to pieces? I highly doubt it. And this book continues my great love of her work. What a fabulous book on moods! Simple yet hilarious. The illustrations convey so well. And the message near the end is something I still need to be reassured of. If there were a larger format, this book would be very fun in a toddler storytime, too.

I thought this one would open up doors so that my daughter and I could talk about feelings and emotions, but I don't think she really understood. She also picked up the book and started reciting "Fifteen Animals" (same author) word for word. I guess she saw the illustration style, and thought it was the same book!
We just received a gift of 8 Boynton board books from a friend of mine, and I think we'll stick with those.

This hilarious take on moods highlights fun rhymes with cartoon pictures, sometimes speaking directly to the reader. (Take, for example, the first page: "Hello little person. How are you today? Is your mood quite terrific? Or only okay?) I loved reading the book aloud so much that I now practically have it memorized.

My friend (and cat sitter) Nichole had a baby girl in November. This board book will be a welcome addition to her library. I always love the rhymes and drawings (especially the Angry Duck). This book of moods is guaranteed to put a smile on the reader and newborns face.

Sandra Boynton is one of my favorite children's authors. I love her illustrations and her sense of humor. she uses rhymes, but they never feel forced or contrived. this one is great because of the twist of the angry duck at the end. good for talking about feelings.

You really can't go wrong with Sandra Boynton. This was given to us by my mom and it is charming and wonderful. I would read it aloud everyday if my two year old would allow it.

So cute! I love Sandra Boynton, and this one is a great addition to her collection of fun board books that's sure to get children interested in reading, singing, etc.

Serious silliness indeed! This is a wonderful book about different moods for the toddler/preschool age. Just enough adult humor and super fun to read aloud.

Another winner from Boynton, complete with rhymes and animal drawings. Fun. Better if read to you by someone you love...

Danny's having some issues around grouchiness, so Mom thought this book might help. The jury is still out.

As with all of Boynton's stuff, this book is a silly treasure. It is fun, clever, and off-the-wall. It also introduces a number of different emotions in a fun way. That would be useful, at times, for helping kids learn about feelings.
