reviewed The way I feel-- sometimes on April 24, 2013 The way I feel-- sometimes
This book is a gem for the slightly older child (5-8?). It's more like a Shel Silverstein collection than a short picture book. The poems are funny and deep, making them enjoyable to children and adults.
I gained quite a few insights by reading this book! For instance: (1) It is so unfitting that parents use the word "cooperate" when they just want children to obey! (2) It's to be expected that sugar-sweet kids sometimes want to stomp on the house and smash it to bits! (3) There's a great poem exploring all the emotions felt by an older sibling who welcomes a new baby into the family. (4) Scared kids might benefit from us not telling them they're imagining things, and instead comforting them by explaining how they don't have to worry since we'll keep them safe.
It had a lot of "angry" poems at the front, but we're working on accepting that as a valid emotion right now (and learning how to then take appropriate actions). It helped me understand anger even better! The illustrations are cute, but a little dated. I do skip some lines in the last poem where the boy calls his sister a brat and a zero, but other than that, I loved this book.
