Went through this book as a child with my counselor. And ended up being gifted with it in middle school. Still have it to this day and decided to read it again. That counselor I had growing up has since passed away. But a great memory remains.

For: readers looking for a feelings book filled with introspective questions.

Possible red flags: depictions of "negative" emotions like angry and sad.

I love this book! All of the illustrations are of fruits and vegetables of difference shapes that have been given eyes and sometimes carved to evoke facial expressions. The range of expressions is really kind of amazing. I was reading this with a group of almost 40 kids, which limited the amount of audience interaction somewhat, but if I was working with a smaller group I probably would have done more with having them guess the emotions being portrayed.

This book is one of the titles suggested in the Safe and Caring Schools curriculum. I picked it up for the guidance teacher at our school. Will be a good read-aloud to begin a discussion of different emotions and how they are expressed.
