Was looking for a book to help explain feelings to my 3 year old. The color monster book is great! It assigns colors to feelings so now my son says things like “that made my happy I feel yellow” or when he’s sad or angry I can say “what would make you feel yellow for happiness”. It’s simple but really helped us during the difficult stages in 3.

My students LOVED ALL the Color Monster books! They were great for explaining emotions and how to work through them!

I purchased this for my kindergarten granddaughter. We read it one time and she wasn’t really engaged. Not a book she would want to read over and over again.

I like the convenience

A lot of reviews that had negative feedback said it didn’t teach as much in this one and that it was disappointing. I am a Behavior Interventionist in a school district and I thought I would give it a try since the little kids responded so well to the first ones about emotions. I think the this book builds off the emotions one and as the monster goes through activities it’s perfect to further explore emotions based off of what he is feeling in each of the activities going into a school setting. It is more so a preschool setting, which is still great, but I think once the kids understand the colors and what they represented it is a great way to further explore conversations about activities and feelings based off of visual aids rather than direct instruction.
