Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Warmly realistic pictures--featuring an interracial cast--accompany these first-person commentaries about the many valid reasons for crying. Ages 3-8.

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2-- A functional title about crying. Different children, one per each double-page spread, cite reasons for shedding tears: not being picked for the team; losing friends; experiencing a death; suffering a broken limb; falling ill; or even witnessing a joyful event. Simon repeatedly informs readers that crying is a valuable way to express their emotions, and that there are many reasons why one might cry. The full-color illustrations are adequate and represent a variety of racial and ethnic groups. Useful bibliotherapy--little more. --J. J.
