Okay introduction to feelings

My favorite part is that the color monster was all mixed up。 He was confused and needed to separate his feelings into jars so his heart and his brain could feel the same things at the same time。

I found this story under a search for children’s fantasy books from the website Elephant Books。 I did a little research and it has been recognized by the international literacy association and the children’s book council。 It has been translated in over 25 languages！ I didn’t have access to a physical copy of the book so I watched a read aloud of the story through YouTube。 This story is about the color monster。 He is feeling many strong feelings and is confused。 A little girl helps explain to him I found this story under a search for children’s fantasy books from the website Elephant Books。 I did a little research and it has been recognized by the international literacy association and the children’s book council。 It has been translated in over 25 languages！ I didn’t have access to a physical copy of the book so I watched a read aloud of the story through YouTube。 This story is about the color monster。 He is feeling many strong feelings and is confused。 A little girl helps explain to him how to identify and make sense of his emotions。 I enjoyed this book。 This story is intended for children in preschool and the primary grades。 Teachers could use this story to discuss strong feelings and emotions。 I would definitely recommend using this book for an SEL lesson in the classroom！ 。。。more

The Color Monster woke up feeling confused， and he doesn't know why。 But there's a little girl in the book， a proxy for the reader， who's going to help him sort out his feelings into different jars。 Cute book with pleasingly homemade-feeling illustrations and a tidy color code for a variety of feelings。 The Color Monster woke up feeling confused， and he doesn't know why。 But there's a little girl in the book， a proxy for the reader， who's going to help him sort out his feelings into different jars。 Cute book with pleasingly homemade-feeling illustrations and a tidy color code for a variety of feelings。 。。。more

Krāsu mošķis ir saputrojies savās emocijās， kurām katrai ir sava krāsa。 Mudžekli vajadzētu atpiņķerēt un salikt katru krāsu savā burciņā un atrast šai emocijai izskaidrojumu。 Izjūtas， kas sajauktas， īsti labi nedarbojas。 Prieks ir dzeltenā krāsā， skumjas - zilā， miers - zaļā， dusmas - sarkanā un bailes ir melnā krāsā。 Jauka un pamācoša grāmatiņa， kas ļauj bērnam izprast savas emocijas， nosaukt tās vārdā， piešķirt tai krāsu， un rast izskaidrojumu。

I read this book with one of my students recently and after reading it we spoke about it and our feelings。 I asked the student if he enjoyed the book and learning about feelings and he excitedly shock his head yes as he is mostly non-verbal。 We then did a feelings sort by sorting the different feelings/emotions into jars labeled with each of the different feelings/emotions that we read about in the story。 It is an easy to understand book about feelings/emotions and is very colorful and easy read I read this book with one of my students recently and after reading it we spoke about it and our feelings。 I asked the student if he enjoyed the book and learning about feelings and he excitedly shock his head yes as he is mostly non-verbal。 We then did a feelings sort by sorting the different feelings/emotions into jars labeled with each of the different feelings/emotions that we read about in the story。 It is an easy to understand book about feelings/emotions and is very colorful and easy reading。 。。。more

My first graders LOVED this book in art class。 It opened up a lot of conversations about what they were feeling。 “I’m green today and maybe a little yellow。” I was so impressed！ Definitely keeping in my rotation for next year。

A great book for introducing the concept of compartmentalizing and expressing different emotions to young children via different colors for each emotion。

The Color Monster is one of my top picks for identifying and describing the emotions we feel and experience on a daily basis。⠀This story begins with a monster who is feeling very confused about all the emotions he is experiencing。 The young girl guides him throughout the book by identifying the emotion， describes it， associates a colour and gives an example of how you might feel with this emotion。 The wonderful thing about this book is that each emotion is normalized and not considered good or b The Color Monster is one of my top picks for identifying and describing the emotions we feel and experience on a daily basis。⠀This story begins with a monster who is feeling very confused about all the emotions he is experiencing。 The young girl guides him throughout the book by identifying the emotion， describes it， associates a colour and gives an example of how you might feel with this emotion。 The wonderful thing about this book is that each emotion is normalized and not considered good or bad。 It acknowledges that we will experience all of these emotions and it encourages us to share how we feel。⠀It is important for children to learn how to identify and express a wide range of feelings， while also understanding that others have feelings too。 Children will be able to use this knowledge to guide their thinking and actions。 This book can be a wonderful tool for having these conversations with your child or students。⠀💡Associating colours with emotions is a great way to introduce feelings to young children。 You can ask， “what colour are you feeling right now？” It might be easier for some children to say， “I’m feeling blue （sad）” or “I’m feeling red （angry）”。⠀💡Continue to refer back to this book as a guide while reading other texts and ask， “how do you think the character is feeling？” and say， “that reminds me of when the monster was feeling sad/blue in the story， The Color Monster。⠀💡Model how to express your emotions using statements such as， “Mom is feeling sad right now because。。。” or in the classroom， “Mrs。 Walker is feeling happy and excited about。。。”。 The more children hear these statements， the more likely they will be to share their own feelings。 Allow children to understand that experiencing an array of emotions is ok and that these feelings will come and go and it makes us feel better to talk about them。⠀The Color Monster is the debut book written and illustrated by Anna Lewis。 She is a teacher and artist who specializes in emotional education。 This book is published by Little， Brown and company @littlebrown。 。。。more

This is a very well-crafted book that explains how a mixed-up monster can get his emotions sorted out。 It is visually beautiful and profound in its true meaning。 I think kids will totally understand the message and will find an easy way to get things under control and own what they are feeling so it won't get out of hand。 Great to use with elementary and younger kids。 Illustrations are colorful and outstanding。 Highly recommended for Grades K-2。 This is a very well-crafted book that explains how a mixed-up monster can get his emotions sorted out。 It is visually beautiful and profound in its true meaning。 I think kids will totally understand the message and will find an easy way to get things under control and own what they are feeling so it won't get out of hand。 Great to use with elementary and younger kids。 Illustrations are colorful and outstanding。 Highly recommended for Grades K-2。 。。。more

I thought this book was amazing。 It showed how the monster turned different colors based on how he was feeling emotionally。 For example red stood for angry and blue stood for sad。 The monster has a lot of emotions all at once and the colors really stood out。

Text is a bit didactic， but that comes with the territory of message books。 A good jumping off point to help children understand emotions and how to separate them out and understand them。

Jumbled emotions - Separating emotions。 Exploring different type of emotions and talking about how you feel - how to articulate this。 Colours representing feelings （blue = sad， etc。）。 ‘It’s ok to cry。’ Good for PHSE。 Activity: creat feeling jars for behaviour management。
