Ups and Downs; a book of emotions by Mike Wohnoutka - ADVISABLE

Ups and Downs; a book of emotions by Mike Wohnoutka. PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick,

2023. $18. 9781536227376

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Wohnoutka takes us on a journey of emotions and he illustrates opposites through a child’s

day - not the typical happy/sad, delighted/disgusted, worried/confident and other pairs

not always seen in this kind of opposite book. Sweet illustrations enrich the spare words. I

would love to read through each pages together and talk to students about how the art

brings each pairing to life and also tells a continuous story.
