The Color Monster: A Story about Emotions

I absolutely love the illustration and the use of colors. My 2.5 yr old had been introduced to it a year back and he too enjoys identifying the emotions and color coding them. A good book to have in your collection.

Very nice book regarding emotions

Live the book, well explained emotions. Wish there were more though - jealousy, anxiety, insecurity, love etc. I know it wouldn't make sense to a 2year old but it would work for a longer period Or the writer should definitely come out with part 2

My daughter loved this book

Great book for kids

I would have given 5 stars to this book for the wonderful thought of associating feeling with colours. The original book talks much about every feeling in detail,how we behave particularly while we feel happy, sad, fearful etc... This particular version of the book starts with the confused colour monster whose feelings are mixed as his colours. The little girl suggests him to put every feeling in different jars, but at the end of book you don't find them. ( image no 2 in the description of the book is not there). So I felt little disappointed. I created those feelings jars activity board for my little one. We read the book and do the activity board simultaneously for better understanding.

My 2year old toddler loves this book!

A very beautiful book I bought for my 10 month old. This book has helped escalate our communication, and after multiple readings, my lo smiles at the pink page and says baba. His love for his father is epic!

Livro bonito, bom e de ótima relação custo-benefício!

Wunderschönes Picture Book zum Farben und Gefühle lernen.

Adhd suspected in my 4 year old. He has big emotional rollercoasters. But reading the book everyday, watching someone read it on youtube too has made a considerable change in his behavior not only at home but at kindergarten. Even my 2 year old loves it and it helps her too!!
