![]() "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. Throughout the representative illustrations-a bright yellow star to represent happiness, an elephant to represent sadness, a silhouette of the Big Bad Wolf to represent fear-a series of heart cutouts, ever decreasing in size, appears on the pages, until the heroine is able to find her feelings everywhere.-Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD The book pairs brief verbal explorations of emotions with evocative imagery, popping with bright colors against the effectively used white background. The approach still works, especially when the feelings evoked have such child-friendly imagery ("My heart is yelling, hot and loud," the child narrator explains). Seuss's My Many-Colored Days (Knopf, 1998), don't count that against it.
