About How Do You Feel?
2017 Canadian Children's Book Centre Best Books for Kids & Teens selection
"A puffy, cheery cover framed in soft purple....[C]lean, uncluttered, sturdy pages with plenty of white....The tone is set for this toddler-friendly book that introduces a few animals and how they feel....A charming, smart, and attractive book."-Kirkus Reviews
"This is great for very young children and especially good for students learning English. There are lots of new adjectives and similes that students will enjoy learning."-Youth Services Book Review
"The small trim size and padded hardcover format make it perfect for little ones, who may even be inspired to find new ways of expressing how they feel in every sense of the phrase."-Midwest Book Review
"The ending of the book is a nice surprise - switching from a focus on physical feelings (e.g., soft, gnarly) to emotional feelings. This may allow parents an opportunity to discuss the differences in what or how a child might be 'feeling' and that both types of feeling are important."-CM Magazine
"The uncomplicated poetic descriptive text is paired with charming colourful and whimsical illustrations rendered with acrylics and coloured pencil. An added feature for babies is padded covers."-Resource Links
"[A] sweet children's book with acrylic and colored pencil illustrations."-Brigham Young University, Children's Book & Media Reviews
"This is a lovely story for young children, as it explores the complexities of the world in a simple format. Few will have experienced physically touching all the varieties of animals in the story, and Bender creates an opportunity for children to use the natural world around them to build richer experiences to add to their imaginary worlds."-Canadian Children's Book News
"Pajama Press has started putting out these lovely padded-cover books for preschoolers that are so much more inviting to hold than ordinary board books. With its soft, cushioned cover, the parade of animals within and the repetitive text, How Do You Feel? will become a popular read-aloud book for parents and teachers of preschoolers and kindergarteners."-CanLit for LittleCanadians
"I love the double meaning of the question (because anything that teaches that a single thing can have two realities is important), and that the answers to the questions are all about words and similes. The whole book is about connection, and it's sweet and lovely, and also powerfully subversive in the most important way."-Pickle Me This
"The illustrations are delightfully soft..."-Picture Book Play Date
"Use this captivating book to inspire your own metaphorical statements."-Imagination Soup
