Reviews
School Library Journal wrote that the number of illustrations on the page made reading the book confusing. In addition, girls were often chosen to represent negative emotions, such as envy and jealousy, while boys are used to illustrate "brave and courageous." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books felt that the illustrations were too small and used inconsistently throughout the book. The Santa Cruz Sentinel felt that the book "will delight children because it validates their feelings."
