The Color Monster woke up feeling confused today, he is all the colors, rather than just one color at a time. He does not know why he is so mixed up, but when his emotions are all jumbled up, they don’t work very well. A little girl offers to help him get his emotions all sorted out by putting them in jars so they make sense. Yellow is for happiness, like the sunshine; blue is sadness, like the sea: red is anger, burning like fire; black is fear: green is calm, quiet like trees swaying in the wind. The little girl has helped the Color Monster sort, recognize and bottle his emotions so they make sense. Oh no, now the Color Monster is pink, what emotion is that?
Llenas’s illustrations are wonderful, very colorful and so simple with a very cute monster. Younger children will be able to relate to these drawings immediately. The Color Monster helps younger students recognize and identify emotions they may be feeling in a non-judgmental and simple way. The idea of separating out emotions and putting them in jars is a concept that many younger students can identify with and practice for themselves. A must for all elementary libraries as well as the Behavior Specialists, Social Workers, and school psychologists." The little girl is Caucasian.
