Ira Crumb Feels the Feelings
Josh Holinaty
(Illustrator)
Description
Ira's tummy hurts, his chin is wibbling, and his eyes are leaking. What's happening?! Any efforts to cheer him up fall flat. When Malcolm finally returns and asks what's wrong, Ira tells him: "I had all these feelings...and I didn't have you."
The second Ira Crumb book marks the return of an endearing character full of personality, humor, and heart. With lots of laughs and comics-style storytelling, it's a funny, touching look at how feelings can be confusing, and how processing emotions can take time--and a bit of help from a pretty good friend.
