Beautiful images. Creative pop-up design, though the monster on the “fear” page came loose on only our second read and won’t pop up now (disappointing - happened when we opened the page, so it wasn’t due to force or my child touching it). As far as the story goes, I much prefer “In My Heart: A Book of Feelings” over this book, but the Color Monster is also a creative way to help children learn to name their emotions. Beautiful images, lackluster story.
