The Color Monster: A Story About Emotions (The Color Monster, 1)

My daughter and I loved this story. Beautiful photos and easy for myDaughter to follow along with. A great book to discuss feelings and colors.

My students absolutely loved this beautiful book. Its high quality and vibrant colors truly captured their attention, making it an engaging read. The illustrations are not only eye-catching but also complement the narrative perfectly, sparking curiosity and encouraging discussions among the students. It's wonderful to see how a well-crafted book can inspire young readers and foster a love for literature!

First things first, this is my toddlers (20 month old) favorite book currently, she grabs it every morning and evening and hands it to us to read to her. I believe it’s the illustrations and the colors. So very nice job at that. When I read the story, I like the concept of explaining emotions and relating them to colors however when the subject is feeling overwhelmed with emotions, he’s told to choose the jars here they belong and separate them so he doesn’t feel confused… at the end all of the emotions are separated in their individual jars.. that almost seems like it is implying to bottle up the emotions… and I don’t want to teach my child that. It’s ok to feel all of your emotions as they can balance each other out but because I do understand the underlying message, I’m going to give it a pass but we should be mindful of telling our children they should put their emotions in a bottle. If you don’t think deep, it’s a great book and I would recommend!
