Book Reviews of My Many Colored Days
Book Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I read this book to my children (ages 4 & 1) I always try to emphasize the emotions & feelings behind each color & painting using my voice...I think it is an excellent book for opening up a dialogue with kids about their emotions & learning how to express them. The paintings are inspiring but ordinary in a way that when you look at them you think "I could paint that!". Really a great, great book! It's a continuous favorite in our house, a must have for every child's book shelf!
I recommend the board book for younger kids because it IS so well loved & read. The images on the pages definately call out to be touched by little hands!
Book Review: tomorrow could be different
Summary: 5 Stars
I would highly recommend this book to anyone--young & old alike! I think it is especially good reading for those feeling like they are in a slump and finding it hard to move on. This book shows that today you might feel like it's a black, brown, or purple day, but if you hold on until tomorrow, you may have a yellow or pink day. Although this book was purchased for my two toddlers, who both love it, this is a coffee-table book at our house.Book Review: My 10 month old's favorite book
Summary: 5 Stars
I wouldn't have expected it but this is my 10 month old son's favorite book. I think he likes the bright colors. Also the way the text is written inspires you to change your voice which he really has enjoyed. The bright colors, simple but cute graphics, short and rhyming verse all combine to make a really neat book. This is the first book that my son has really showed interest in, he actually coos and babbles and touches the pages as I read it to him. He sits through the whole book and likes it to be read to him more than once every day. I've tried "Goodnight Moon", "Guess How Much I Love You", "The Runaway Bunny", "Mother Goose", etc but no other book has fasinated him so far as much as this book. I'd highly recommend it.Book Review: Not your usual Dr. Seuss - but terrific!
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter is a huge fan of this book - and so am I! I won't say that about too many children's books... As cute as some of them are, I can only make so many dog noises and elephant sounds in a day (over and over). But this is a book that we both agree on.First of all, the book is beautiful. The colors are great. I love the illustrations. They're colorful but subtle, not your normal "in your face" Seuss (of which I am a fan).
Second, the book is just the right length for a toddler. Some of the other Seuss, while funny, is long. This is just about perfect.
Mostly, however, I like the message of this book: that you can be in one mood one day and another mood another day and that's okay. I think really small children, especially toddlers, have a difficult time understanding the concepts of mad and glad and sad... We expect them to be "on" at happy all day long. But they really are just little people and they experience different feelings, too. I like that this book says that's okay.
Yeah, the message is a little "touchy feely" but the book doesn't come across that way at all. It's Seussy-y without the camp, but with the same sense of rhyme and optimism. It works.
Book Review: One of the best books we received !
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this book as a gift for my daughter and had it not been given to me that way I am not sure that we would have it in our library - and that would be unfortunate. This is one of the very best board books available. For young children like my daughter they enjoy the vivid colors and simplistic art. For older children it teaches them acceptance and understanding of different moods and emotions. Not your typical Suess book - but definetly one of the best! Make sure to add this to your children's library!
