My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss

I absolutely love this delightful book by Dr. Seuss. It follows a child through all of his emotions, and what he feels when he’s angry, sad, confused, low, etc. He compares his feelings to colors and explains what he feels. The colors in the illustrations help to reinforce how he is feeling. They are beautiful and utilize the whole page. Young children love this book because of the illustrations, and how the author relates their feelings in a way they can understand it. The book explains so much without using too many words. The overall theme in this book is that no matter what your feelings are one day, you will go back to being you, and that is okay. I have told many people about this book, because I love the theme, illustrations, and how simple it is. Plus, it comes in board book form, which makes it great for young children. The younger children will learn about colors, and the older children will learn about their emotions. Children will be able to better relate to and understand different emotions/feelings.
