75) How are you Peeling? by Saxton Freymann and Joose Elffers


Bibliographic Citation: Freymann, Saxton and Elffers, Joost. How Are You Peeling?. Turtleback, 2004. 48 pages. ISBN: 978-1417643189

Format: Hardcover

Age Group: Ages 3-4 Years

Annotation:  Fruits and vegetables are transformed into expressive faces. 

Reflection:  A variety of fruits and vegetables are carved to show various emotions. The rhyming text and questions encourage children to discuss the range of feelings they may have.  The carved expressions on the vegetable faces help children associate the facial expression to the emotion described, “Feeling sorry and ashamed? Or embarrassed to be blamed?”  Another talking point would be to name the fruits and vegetables and their colors.  Children and adults will find the pictures of the carved fruits and vegetables interesting and amusing.
