This book has amazing pop-up illustrations that help its young audience explore and identify their own emotions. The feelings happy, sad, anger, fear and calm are represented with a specific colour. In the story, the monster's emotions are all mixed up until a little girl helps him separate his feelings into different jars.
After reading this book, we spent the week talking about our feelings and what makes us feel that way.
To get us started, we went on an emotion hunt and took pictures of our friends showing the five different emotions in the book.
After practicing showing the different emotions, we did lots of talking about what could make us feel those feelings. Everyone was very eager to share! We organized our thoughts into jars just like the Color Monster did in the story.
