Emociones a todo color

by Elena Ulyeva, Olga Agafonova (Illustrations)

Emociones a todo color es un tierno libro en español para niños y niñas a partir de 1 año y medio, en el que aprenderán a conocer las distintas emociones que pueden sentir, a identificarlas y a llevarse bien con ellas. Cam es un simpático camaleón que busca un amigo con el que jugar, pero no consigue encontrar a nadie que sea exactamente igual que él. A lo largo del cuento, Cam va sintiendo diversas emociones y, cada vez que siente una, ¡cambia de color!

Las simpáticas y coloridas ilustraciones ayudarán a los pequeños lectores a meterse en la historia y comprender con mucha más facilidad en qué consiste cada sentimiento de los que se detallan. Además, como el protagonista es un camaleón, cada emoción se asocia con un color distinto, lo que facilita su memorización.

Al final del libro se incluye una lista de las ocho emociones que se han presentado a lo largo del cuento y se da a los pequeños un consejo sobre cómo lidiar con cada una de ellas. No solo se trabajan los diversos sentimientos que existen, sino también la importancia de ser único y especial.

This is a great story that I am really looking forward to reading to my younger grandchildren, it easily describes emotions using the cute Cam the chameleon and colours to help them understand how they are feeling and it also is good at explaining that we are all different in so many ways and enjoy doing different things.

The drawings are fabulous and the animals that we meet along they are all very different.

This is one book that I am sure children and adults will thoroughly enjoy together.

My thanks to Allen & Unwin for my copy to read and review

Hello, friends! Our books today are Rainbow of Emotions, Big Emotions, and Facing Fears, written by Elena Ulyeva and illustrated by Olga Agafonova (Olka Illustration), the first three books in the Clever Emotions board book series.

Cam the chameleon, like everyone, feels lots of different emotions, yet Cam is unique in that he literally wears his feelings on his face; his scales change to a specific color depending on the emotion he is currently feeling (yellow for happy, purple for embarrassed, white for scared, etc). In each book, Cam is faced with a different dilemma – looking for a playmate, finding his mom, and being confronted with xenophobia – and navigates through his full range of emotions before reaching a conclusion. After the plot is wrapped up, the final page encourages readers to think about how they deal with their own emotions.

Repetitive and uninspired. While the general concept of color-coding emotions is always helpful for very young readers, it’s a pretty common trope that has been done elsewhere (and honestly, better). These books suffer most in their lackluster stories, which are carbon copies of each other, and are filled with wildly shifting tones and unresolved conflicts. They also only offer lessons in emotional regulation on the last page of two books (though these tips are truly beneficial, especially the emphasis on sharing problems with trusted adults). On the bright side, the artwork is consistently charming, though not terrifically memorable. JJ was a little disappointed with these, especially as she had been excited by the concept; she tired of Cam’s exploits halfway through Facing Fears (which, incidentally, is the title that offers no lessons in emotional regulation). All in all, there are just too many fantastic pictures books about emotional intelligence that it’s hard to strongly recommend these. Worth a glance, but unlikely to grab the reader.

(Note: A copy of this book was provided to the Baby Bookworm by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.)

I'm leading a meeting on talking to little ones about their feelings, and what better way to start than identifying exactly what it is we are feeling? It's hard to express our emotions sometimes, and Rainbow of emotions does a good job of expressing this to our little friends. I enjoyed this one a lot.

Complimentary copy from clever publishing.

A fun brightly coloured board book using colours and words to help young children process their emotions.

Words of encouragement help Cam understand his emotions and work through them well.

a glossary of emotions at the close of the book help children review what they have learned.

This book is a great tool for teaching children about the colors of the rainbow and emotions. It's a wonderful read for all ages.

Tundub praktiline tähistada tunded eri värvidega ja sedaviisi neid tundma õppida. Ise mõtlen, et katsetan mõnel vihahetkel, kas õhupalliharjutus töötab. Pildid on väga ilusad mu meelest.

Fine in general. I was not impressed with the translation to Croatian.
