Content: G; Violence: G. PICTURE BOOK
Theo is supposed
to talk about his mood in class, since its Mood Monday. All the other students
have an easy time picking a mood and sharing why they feel the way they do. But
Theo is confused. Finally he figures out that the birth of his new baby sister
has him feeling lots of emotions, the emotions all add up to the feeling of being a big brother.
This is a great
story for showcasing emotions. I keep seeing a ton of books about anger and
tempers, so this book was much better variety for me. Students will relate to
the situations related in this book. The illustrations are varied and bright.
Great for a school library and even better as a gift for a new big brother.
