Highly recommended! Children with big emotions
Adhd suspected in my 4 year old. He has big emotional rollercoasters. But reading the book everyday, watching someone read it on youtube too has made a considerable change in his behavior not only at home but at kindergarten. Even my 2 year old loves it and it helps her too!!

Not as advertised! Incomplete story
This isn't the actual story! It's shorter and does not make sense as its not complete. Was confused when I read it to my child.

Not sure how I feel about this book
I love the colors and illustrations, and the concept of understanding emotions, identifying them and learning how to deal with them is beautifully captured in this story. but I found it hard to digest how I can explain linking colors to emotions. I don’t really agree that red is the color of anger and black is fear. I already requested to return this book and waiting for updates because it won’t help me teach my 19m old baby what colors are.

Ridiculous fault with the book printing
The book is faulty. The internal pages are upside down. Didn’t realise till after returns window was closed as it was a gift. Ridiculous. Don’t both buying.

Go for it!
This was the first book I bought for teaching my 2 and 4yo kids about emotions and feelings, it is such an easy, nice way of describing feelings. Also helped with my children’s fear of monsters to see that the Colour monster also cries, is scared, calm - big thumbs up for this one
