Book Reviews of My Many Colored Days
Book Review: Best Present to Give
Summary: 5 Stars
After buying this book for my daughter 2 years ago,I am now giving it to everyone who has a baby!! It is perfect to talk about emotions and how they can differ on different days and how it is ok to express them! I absolutely love the book as do both my children (4 and 2). They get so excited that they exclaim the words to me! The pictures are beautiful too. I wish I had known about it sooner! I can't understand the negative reviews because I can see how my children can relate to the emotions of the different colors. A great present and a great keeper!!Book Review: my 6-month-old's favorite book!
Summary: 5 Stars
my 6-month-old son LOVES this book. People thought I was nuts when I told them that this little baby has a favorite book, until they saw it for themselves - whenever he sees it, he smiles. He especially loves the "then comes a yellow day, and wheee - I'm a busy, buzzy bee" page. He comes to rapt attention if my husband or I even recite one of the pages - I'm telling you, this book is great!!! Other books he tries to eat. This one - he pays attention!Book Review: Colors for All Ages / Not the SEUSS You're USED to
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this book when our now 5 month old son was newly born and I believe I'm more taken with it at this point than he. Though he enjoys it immensely, at this point he seems to get a bigger kick out of Seuss' "Hop on Pop" and "Green Eggs and Ham," as well as a wonderful book titled "Down by the Cool of the Pool," by Tony Mitton.With Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher's wonderfully artistic illustrations this book is set apart from traditional Seuss books. That's not a bad thing either. The illustrations are nearly perfect artistic creations to match Seuss' particular mood he is trying to convey with the message that you will be a different type person sometimes depending on the day and mood. The colors are bright and intriguing reminding me of a mix between Marc Chagall and Keith Haring. My favorite is the description of purple days, "On Purple Days I'm sad. I groan. I drag my tail. I walk alone." There is a small forlorn purple brontosaurus in the upper right hand corner on a field of white. Across the picture is a purple trail forlornly painted by the forlorn dragged tail with streaks that emphasize the mood. Beautiful and poignant.
What's even better, especially when my son hones his language skills, is the message the book carries. It's OK to experience different emotions...just because you feel a certain way at times doesn't mean it's permanent. Like happiness and sorrow together, this too shall pass, "Then comes a mixed-up day and wham! I don't know who or what I am? But it all turns out all right you see. And I go back to being...me."
The illustrations as well as the font and text layout all go to bolster the wonderful message of this book...a book for all ages, all colored days and all times.
