Publisher Description
Do you ever feel as stubborn as a mule? Or as chicken as a chicken? Of course you do. Everyone does.
In this lighthearted look at feelings, David Milgrim tenderly and humorously sketches the emotional range-from awkward to unnoticed, to really, rrrreally mad. Ultimately reassuring, this is a loving look at the normal, natural feelings we all have.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Milgrim uses animal metaphors (and costumes) to acknowledge that feelings can be overwhelming. "Do you ever feel... as stubborn as a mule?" he asks, as a father attempts to send his donkey-suit-wearing daughter off to bed. A boy who is afraid of a dog is "as chicken as a chicken," and when a girl feels "totally and completely alone," she appears in a wolf suit, howling in a moonlit desert. Sympathetic language ("Of course you do. Everyone does"), the revelation that it isn't just kids who get moody, and the friendly energy of Milgrim's cartooning make this a humorously reassuring take on the idea of allowing even the wildest emotions their time and place. Ages 4 8.
