Glad Monster, Sad Monster Review: Great book for fun and also for learning emotional intelligence. - My son loves this book, and I think it helps a lot with his emotional intelligence. The masks come out and there is a pocket in the back to hold them in. Of course they still get left out and ripped up, though. But it's nice that they thought of the pocket. We tried very hard to keep them safe for a couple of weeks! My son and I will reference what color monster we feel like sometimes to help express our feelings. I can ask him what color monster he feels like when he seems a little overwhelmed with emotion, which helps him to stop and reflect on his feelings so we can better address the problem. It's also a little more meaningful when I tell him, for example, that I feel like the blue monster because he is jumping on me and it hurts. Also, and this was of his own design, he uses his "monster friends" to help protect him from his blinds. The tree outside his window sometimes scrapes his window, so he's afraid of his blinds. But he'll call his monster friends and/or lay their masks around his bed to help him feel safe. He prefers the green monster, to better scare off whatever is scaring him. Review: Help control tantrums!!! - Believe it or not...this book helps control tantrums. Most kids between 2 and 4 don't have the vocabulary to express their feelings. This book teaches them the different emotions, and assigns a color to them. If my son starts to cry, instead of getting frustrated, I can ask him, "Are you a blue monter (the sad one) or a yellow monster (the glad one)? He'll say the blue monster. It's how we get kids to verbalize instead of tantrum. It's helped immensely. I wouldn't use the mask part though, cause kids sometimes don't understand that you are behind the mask and they think you've gone away. Also recommend "Go Away Big Scary Monster" by Emberly. Fantastic!!! On a side note...I will say that I've never been able to really use the fold out pages (that has eye holes for you to look through...so you can be one of the monsters)....the book's a bit unwieldy that way. But I just ignore that part of it and just read the book like I would any other. After the "mad monster" gets mad at a kid knocking down his blocks....I ask my son - What makes you mad? And then..."What makes you sad? - Happy?" - and so on. When you tell kids to stop yelling or throwing things (or whatever your kid might do to show frustration) sometimes they interpret it as, "We're not allowed to be angry." Which'll make them robots when they grow up. This book opens the discussion up for them. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #19,786 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #277 in Children's Interactive Adventures #479 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,395 Reviews | ## Images ![Glad Monster, Sad Monster - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-mqW1vqDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for fun and also for learning emotional intelligence. *by J***R on November 17, 2014* My son loves this book, and I think it helps a lot with his emotional intelligence.

It's just fun. It's colorful. It engages a kid with the shapes and faces. And its' just a fun book. If you're like me, any book that encourages a child to pick it up and turn every page until the end is a good book. Just because a book like this doesn't have a story, or a moral lesson to teach, doesn't mean it's not a good book. Kids like this book because it's fun and that makes it a winner! There is some educational value to it in that it talks about emotions (It shows different faces to match the monsters' emotions). That's good stuff, but it's not the strength of this book. The strength of this book is how much fun it is and how stimulating it is to a child's imagination. ## Frequently Bought Together - Glad Monster, Sad Monster: A Book About Feelings - In My Heart: A Book of Feelings (Growing Hearts) - The Colour Monster --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3877602-glad-monster-sad-monster](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3877602-glad-monster-sad-monster) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
