A fun, bright pop-up book about a monster who explores colour through his emotions.
Today the Colour Monster is feeling very mixed up. He's yellow, blue, red, black and green all at once. Can you help him sort himself out?
A stunning pop-out adventure that explores colours and feelings in a fun and gentle way.
As toddlers begin to experience a range of emotions that they cannot yet put into words, this is the perfect book to help them. The protagonist is a sweet monster who wants to explain how he feels and uses colour to do so.
It's an innocent but powerful opportunity for children to make sense of how they feel and learn colours along the way. Anna Llenas's simple illustrations are full of soul.
The Colour Monster is a very cleverly constructed paper engineered book about feelings featuring spectacular pop-ups. [...]
This is a special book to share with a child and enjoy looking at, albeit very carefully! Though the concept of bottling up feelings might be a little problematic, parents and teachers could certainly use this book to spark discussion about different feelings and perhaps help children understand them a bit more. It might lead to talk about other feelings too, such as what colour would represent boredom - perhaps brown or grey?
Sharing this book may also inspire children to create their own colour monster or even their own pop-ups!
