Another great Todd Parr book

My kids love all the Todd Parr books. What I like about this one is that it encourages them to think about the activities and people that make them feel good, and reminds them about how so many everyday activities are fun!

THE FEEL GOOD BOOK

I am a Kindergarten teacher, and I use "The Feel Good Book" for a Health lesson. This book is so motivating, and it's excitingly colorful with fantastic pictures that go along with the mentioned feeling on that page. The illustrations look child drawn and really catch your eye. If possible, the children and I act out the gesture after reading each page. For example, the second page states that "Eating carrots with a bunny feels good"; the students and I would pretend to eat carrots and smile. If the children know the words that I am reading, I allow them to join me (children love to read along with a teacher!). After the book is read, we recall and retell what made the characters in the book feel good. I then ask them what makes them feel good. They are to hold that thought in their mind and write it on paper and draw/color a supporting illustration. I then collect all of the student's papers, and put together our class' very own feel good book!

We love Todd Parr!

We are big fans of Todd Parr's work. We give his books as gifts as much as possible. Great positive and simple life messages in all his books.

I love the feel good book

I love the feel good book! This book deserves five stars and makes me feel good! ļ When I am sad I want to cry and that makes me feel good. When I want to hug someone I hug and that makes me feel good. This book touches my heart and hopefully it will touch yours. Eunace B. age-11

Not for the close-minded

I think this book is great as our other Todd Parr books are. My 4 year old loves them. These books are about real life, happy and sad. It contradicts the old way of thinking, that feelings are wrong and should be discouraged. It encourages children to act like children and maybe for some adults to let their hair down and lighten up. Another fun book from Todd!
