Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In such classics as The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham, the text and illustrations by Dr. Seuss have always seemed inseparable--peerless fusions of verbal and visual wit. Yet when the good doctor wrote My Many Coloured Days in 1973, he specified that the manuscript should be illustrated by "a great colour artist who will not be dominated by me." Now he has got his wish. Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher have created a series of rich, painterly images that could never be mistaken for faux-Seuss. They do, however, capture something of the late author's whimsy.

A beautiful book.
Both the text and the illustrations relate colours to feelings and moods in a simple and thoughtful way. The paintings are bright and recognisable (and the 'story' interesting enough) to keep the youngest captivated while you read, but with the scale and lay-out to attract those learning to read themselves.
Quite different from most Dr. Seuss books, this is more a concept piece than a traditional story, but retains the uniqueness you would expect, and is much loved by my 3 year old daughter!

This book is a great introduction to talking about how you feel in a simple pure way.
It gives the child permission to feel sad, angry, happy etc, tells them is ok, it's normal we all feel this way sometimes.
The book is beautifully painted and the pictures are very expressive using the colours to convey the correct emotion perfectly.
The text is short enough to hold the interest of even the youngest child and the rhythm and rhyme are engaging.
A beauiful book which works on many different levels and can be read as quickly or as slowly as you like as it offers the choice of just using the words or using each colour as a jumping off point to discuss deeper things

This book has beautiful illustrations which capture the essence of the feeling being described. I have personally found this works especially well with children on the autistic spectrum and very young (pre-verbal) children. It does not pass judgement on feelings or describe them as positive or negative, it simply gives an idea of what effect thay have using very simple text and powerful images.

different to the others
This is a very different Dr Seuss, a little less frantic in its pace and rhyme, a little more thoughtful perhaps. Read more

Wonderful book on emotions
Not the usual Dr. Seuss read, this book utilizes color to express the complexity of feelings. The illustrations are unique and elevate the text.
