The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas is a great book for helping kids understand their feelings. The monster feels all mixed up, and a girl helps him sort out his emotions, each shown as a different color.The pictures are simple and easy to understand, making it perfect for young children. It helps them learn to name their feelings and talk about them. This book is a wonderful way to teach kids about emotions in a fun and gentle way.

Brilliant way of introducing emotions to young children. Use this in my classroom every year!

Great book for kids

this is a a great book my son loves it and it teaches him about emotions, if you can get them get the color monster plushies to go with it he loves matching them up as we go through the book

One of our favourite stories for my little girl who has autism. Helps us discuss emotions and how we feel.

This is a nice strong board book which I bought so children of all ages could enjoy. However it's not the full version of the colour monster, which I didn't realise before buying, so if you want the whole content then buy the paperback version, which I have now done in addition to this book.

Lovely way to introduce emotions to your little one & a way to talk about how they feel & why they may feel like that

The media could not be loaded. I bought this book for my daughter’s second birthday and she adores it.She loves naming the different colours, feelings and completing the little actions along with each, I.e. taking a deep breath, stomping or shouting ‘not fair!’, as we read through the book. It’s really helped her to gain a good understanding of feelings and she does now use the words to describe feelings she and others are experiencing, which is lovely to see.The illustrations are unique and pleasing too. This isn’t the pop up version, but the illustrations are designed to look like painted cardboard cutouts, which is a refreshing and interesting design choice.The monster itself isn’t scary in the slightest either.I particularly like the use of the concepts of ‘colours being mixed up and confused’ and pulling out and labelling each emotion to help the colour monster understand himself and ultimately feel better. All emotions are labelled as being healthy and very normal too, with some comments on how to cope with the tricker emotions. It’s all really good early learning for positive mental wellbeing, which as a psychologist, I definitely have time for.
