How Are You? by Edouard Manceau - OPTIONAL

How Are You? by 
Edouard Manceau.
BOARD BOOK (Pre-K) Twirl/Bayard Editions. March 2023. $13. 9781036353246  

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

The narrator asks an illustration of a child’s head “How are You?” The Child answers, “Oh it depends on the day.” The child then goes through a range of feelings that might happen to him in that day. 

I really don't think that this book works very well as a board book for small children. There is nothing to engage or to attract them to this book. Older children might benefit from an adult explaining the book and helping them to realize that everyone goes through many feelings and emotions each day, but this is not a book that a child would pick up and read themselves. The illustrations are simple, plain, and dark.
