Check Out Hurty Feelings Created By Helen Lester Distributed In Visual Format

Teaching
This book consisted of a very sensitive hippo named Fragility, Fragility was often easily offended by good/bad comments that his peers made about him, In addition, it caused much disruption between him and his friends, Later on, Fragility came across an elephant named Rudy that was very rude, Rudy often insulted Fragility about his appearance, which cause Fragility to become fragile about comments, Until, one day fragility started to embrace his appearance and made the elephant realize that they have many similarities that Fragility was initially picked on about, Which in due time, Fragility started to take comments lightly and embraced himself, I think that this book would be a great book to read to the children, along with having them write in their journals about the similarities that one another have and following up with an out loud discussion.
I really liked the idea of this book but the execution needs work, But the drawings are super cute It was just OK, I would like to read it to my class to help illustrate how to handle sensitive personalities, I just think it will take a lot of guidance, The story missed the mark by itself, Lester, Helen Hurty Feelings, illustrated by Lynn Munsinger, PICTURE BOOK. Houghton Mifflin, Content: G.

Fragility is a solid piece of hippo, but is anyone tries to compliment her, she starts to wail and her feelings get hurt, taking everything the wrong way.
When a real bully comes in sight, Fragility realizes that she doesnt have to always cry, This is a good basic lesson for a look at hurt feelings, It talks not only about someone who allows their feelings to be hurt by friends who dont mean it, but also looks at someone who really is trying to hurt her.
Great to have on hand for a quick class lesson,

EL KESSENTIAL, Cindy, Library Teacher I am not sure what this book is trying to teach children, accept to be whiny, rude and a bully, How Fragility expresses her feelings isn't a healthy way to react or to over exaggerate her self deprecation, She then uses her 'feelings' as an excuse to be a bully, Nice humorous book about feelings, May be a pick for Preschool with a smaller group or as a long opener, The illustrations are absolutely charming and add so much to this book, I think that very young children will enjoy having this book read to them several times, and the book may give parents/preschool teachers an opportunity to talk about name calling and being overly sensitive.
However, one aspect of the story that seemed notquiteright was the young hippo's ability to feel some self confidence only after she called the elephant some names in return sturdy legs, pudgy, gray.
Fragility was solid, grey and big, She could do a lot of things, but when it came to compliments to her, Fragility would misinterpret them and cry, She was fragile, her feelings too easily hurt, It became such a problem no one wanted to talk to her in fear of setting her off again, One day she learns something about herself while being truly insulted,
Beautiful illustrations. Fragility the hippo is a solid piece of work, but her feelings are easily hurt, When she faces down the insults of Rudy the elephant, she learns to not only to defend her feelings but to accept a compliment, I have been using this with kindergarteners, who enjoy hamming it up while saying, "You hurt my feeeelings, . . " I just didn't get the book. I know too many people who look for reasons to overreact to the smallest things, so I didn't find Fragility half as funny as I was supposed to.
The part where all her friends just stop talking to her because they're afraid of her histrionics Bingo, That's what happens, and I thought that was supposed to be the lesson,
But then along comes the bully, who actually bullies her, and she gets all weepy until she manages to insult him back and make him cry, and then everyone realizes that.
. hurt feelings are bad
I don't know, I just didn't get it, Funny story about bullies and accepting compliments, Ok, so I definitely didn't like this one, I think it's trying to teach "Don't take things personally, " But sometimes people do say "nice" things in order to hurt someone, I know it's written for kids and a lot of people think kids can't get complex ideas, but when introduced well, they absolutely can, This is just the worst book ever, But the illustrations are great! ngga ada orang yang jahat, yang ada itu hanya orang yg kurang kasih sayang,

temen temen fragility memang bermaksud baikto compliment her tapi bisa aja ada penyebab yang ngga diceritain di buku yang bikin fragility malah tersinggung sama compliment mereka.
dan adanya respon negatif dari fragility, bikin temen temennya malah langsung ngejauhin, tanpa nyoba buat komunikasiin dulu, bary deh, pas rudy ngomong, fragility baru sadar kalo dia udah nyakitin hati orang lain : I love this book, It raises so many issues to think about, It lets us delve into sensitivity, rudeness, people trying to show us love, people purposely trying to hurt and manipulate us to get what they want, We see things that Fragility is good at, and things she struggles with, We get to see ourselves,
