I want more copies of this book (because mine is always being borrowed)! I am a Reading teacher in an elementary school and the children love Todd Parr's pictures and easy way of telling stories. They relate well because the phrases are short and realistic, and they beg to read it over and over again. My first Todd Parr book was "Things that make you feel good, things that make you feel bad" and I bought several as gifts for adults as well as children. The kids will want to hear (or read) his stories over and over again!
Reviewed by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-winning author of This is the Place, Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered and The Frugal Book Promoter.This is a book that cares. Todd Parr and his publisher, the Little Brown for Young Readers division of LB Company, have introduced a book that supports the work of a wonderful literacy organization, Reach Out and Read. They've done it with Reading Makes You Feel Good, an imaginative book that explores how reading can empower a child--can empower anyone, for that matter.The illustrations are in Crayola colors and remind me of the bright little cut-out puzzles from Europe made with wood. You know, good Danish or Swedish design. Each picture-page includes not only the story narrative but pictures of things with words in them. That association between words and how they can label objects is a subtle message for toddlers and beginning readers.The only advantage for reading that Parr misses in this simple but well-written story is that reading prepares one for writing better, for writing other books like Parr's that will help children learn, writing reviews like this that will help parents pick the very best of books for their children!-------(Carolyn Howard-Johnson's first literary novel, This is the Place, has won eight awards and Harkening, a collection of stories, has won three. She is also the author of The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won't, the winner of USA Book News' "Best Professional Book 2004." )
Todd Parr has a way with encouraging children to do things (reading) without being 'preachy' and by being FUN. My 3 children, ages 15 mos, 15 mos, and 5 years love all of his books. We just bought this one today and have already read it 3 times - it is still afternoon. My young toddlers are attracted to the illustrations, my 5 year old is attracted to the easy to read text and "funny looking characters". She often identifies her family or pets in all of the pictures.
The Todd Parr book is GREAT! - the Kindle formatting is NOT. Pages are not laid out correctly so it's off by a page and pages are divided by a wide white gully. There shouldn't be any white between the pages when the facing pages are sharing a scene. All this white makes the pictures too small to be enjoyed, and there's all that wasted space. Formatting a picture book into an e-book has to be thoughtfully done, just like with a print book. Why are some kindle picture books ruined like this? The "Elmer's Special Day" book I recently bought was done perfectly. The facing pages were joined with no gully - no wasted space. It looked fantastic!
Good book as such, but has done an total crap job in converting it into an eBook. The way they have cut up Parr's wonderful illustrations into ePages completely destroys the flow, and makes it difficult to read to a kid.It is absolutely worth buying as a normal book, but don't even consider it as an eBook.
I love this book and any teacher would as well! IT really embraces the love of reading. Our office of public instruction suggested it for February's I love reading month and I have loved it ever since!
I love all of the Todd Parr books. The colors, the clever drawings, the simple words and the important message all work together to create a powerful journey. I never tire of reading a Todd Parr book. And my grandchildren never tire of hearing them.
This book is a great introduction to reading at the beginning of the year for my first grade class. The illustrations are extremely colorful, cute, and simple enough for me to teach my students how to draw characters. The illustrations truly inspire kids to draw. After one lesson, they love to draw detailed characters, settings, and events. They also learn to use lots of colors and to cover a whole page. The simple, to the point text keeps the focus going and the kids want to hear and read more Todd Parr books with no end in sight. I enjoy using all of his books in my classroom.
