Mood Swings: Show ""Em How You're Feeling!

Jim Borgman. Price Stern Sloan, $8.99 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-8431-7560-8

For people who would rather show than tell, there's Mood Swings: Show'em How You're Feeling. A spiral-bound, sturdy cardboard case folds into a billboard; readers flip through the range of feelings and facial expressions, drawn by Jim Borgman, to find the one that fits their mood. A red background for ""I'm feeling angry"" depicts a face contorted into a scowl; other options are ""guilty,"" ""confused,"" ""depressed,"" ""happy"" and ""exhausted,"" plus many more. Each page comes in duplicate, so the billboard either warns people off or invites them in from either direction. (Jan.)
