A story about emotions. A 9-year-old girl in a Kindergarten Class is reading the story The Color Monster by Anna Llenas. She is reading the book and explaining how the color monster is confused because all his feelings are mixed up. He is covered up in different colors, red, blue, green, yellow, and black. His friend, a girl, will help him separate his feelings and show him glass jars with lids. 

She explains that yellow is the color of happiness, shining like the sun and twinkling like the stars. The illustration shows two beautiful yellow birds standing on branches and a cardboard piece. Then she explained sadness, which is lonely and blue. It washes over you like the sea. They are both sad on a floating bed on water; it is cloudy and raining. After that comes anger, which burns red like fire and is hard to stamp out. Looks like red paint is all over the page. Later comes fear. Which hides and runs away like a mouse in the night. The monster is black and small in a scary forest with black tree branches. Green calm monster in the following page swinging happily on a hammock. He is like the trees and light green leaves swaying in the wind. 

Now all the color monster feelings are in place, showing jars filled with different colors, Blue, red, black, green, and yellow. The girl sees some pink flowers and notices that the monster is having a new feeling. He looks different, and his friend asks him to tell her how he feels. The last page shows the pink color monster surrounded by pink hearts and flowers.
