review 1: Jamie is in a fun mood, a purple mood, when his mean older brothers shove him into gray. But his little sister asks him to draw her a picture, and both her enthusiasm and his drawing move him into green. So it goes, throughout the day, new colors matching Jamie's shifting moods.This is a wonderful book for kicking off a discussion about feelings, enhancing a lesson on metaphors, or reviewing colors. It's great fun to read aloud, with a rhythm that flows to match the different moods. The illustrations further the goal of bringing each mood's color alive. I do wish is that the book had an easier title, though, as I forget the exact wording of it more often than not, which makes it harder to recommend to readers or to search for on the shelves.
review 2: Age: Kind... moreergarten-2nd gradeAccompanied with a great rhythm, this ultra cool dude expresses his feelings in all sorts of colors. Some colors get their point across perfectly, such as blue, black, gray, and red, but other colors are barely aligned with an emotion; instead they are aligned with a part of the plot. For example, yellow is associated with dinnertime and orange is associated with playing basketball. But, in making this observation, I realize that it gives the story variety. Also, there are no objective interpretations of associating colors with emotions so anything is fair game. less
