Glad Monster, Sad Monster
A Book About Feelings

by Ed Emberley and Anne Miranda



      From cover to cover, Glad Monster, Sad Monster captivates the young mind with fun and fanciful images of monsters who don't mind sharing their feelings. Ed Emberley and Anne Miranda do an amazing job of capturing monsters acting the very same way children do. With each new page comes a new emotion to be explored, discussed and (literally) tried on. The book ingeniously includes seven removable masks to match each feeling featured. By using the book and accompanying masks to create a dialogue, children have the opportunity to work through issues that may be tough for them to verbalize otherwise. Parents, teachers and counselors can benefit from having Glad Monster, Sad Monster on hand when there are difficult situations. However, the book is also just plain fun for kids who enjoy pretending and taking on different roles. Moreover, kids who love Emberley's Go Away, Big Green Monster! are sure to add Glad Monster, Sad Monster to their list of favorites!
