Joosse, Barbara. Love Is a Good Thing to Feel, illustrated by Jennifer Plecas. Philomel Books (Penguin), 2008. $12.99. PICTURE BOOK. Harriet, a little girl with a stuffed bunny named Squeezie, shares different ways to say I love you. Next, she explains that you can still love someone even if they tease you or if you are mad at them. The story feels disjointed, especially the last few pages which contain facts about the heart. The picture book format is slightly altered by cartoon-like speech bubbles with separate dialogue from the narrative. The illustrations are minimal, but charming. EL – OPTIONAL.
