Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It's Mood Monday and Miss Cady's class is sharing how they feel after the weekend. But Theo doesn't know whether he's in a good mood or a bad mood. He has a new baby sister and he isn't just happy like Eric who got a new bike or sad like April who lost her dog. As Theo's classmates discuss all their feelings, he realizes he's not in a good mood or a bad mood--he's all those things!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Both the text and the bright, expressive illustrations focus squarely on Theo and his friends, with a developmentally appropriate, low priority on the baby...Cocca-Leffler once again demonstrates her understanding of small children and the complexities of their emotions.--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p><br><br><p>Cocca-Leffler's friendly mixed-media illustrations telegraph each child's emotions clearly, and her story underscores the idea that good and bad moods aren't mutually exclusive.--<em>Publishers Weekly</em></p><br><br><p>It's refreshing to see that his classmates are supportive and help him to understand that mixed emotions are part of being a big brother. It's also refreshing that the children are encouraged to express their feelings, both positive and negative.--<em>School Library Journal</em></p><br><br><p>The new-brother storyline adds a nice framework to the typical grocery list of feelings, and the storyline helpfully results in each mood's getting more than one possible motivation.--<em>The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</em></p><br><br><p>The situations his classmates describe are all easily relatable for preschoolers, and the bold, playful illustrations make the moods recognizable and the characters distinct.--<em>Foreword Reviews</em></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Maryann Cocca-Leffler is the author-illustrator of many books for children including the Mr. Tanen series and the Princess Kim books.
