My Many Colored Days - Dr. Seuss

Image from booksamillion

Everyone has heard of The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Horton Hears A Who.

Dr. Seuss also wrote an entirely different type of poem that compares the variety of his emotions to color. Check out the KidReadz lesson that explores the work of Dr. Seuss. It also looks at paintings by Van Gogh, Georgia O'Keefe, and Picasso -- illustrating how color is used to express emotion.

The unit "My World Is A Rainbow" is designed to help children understand their own feelings and to express those feelings through art. As in other of the KidReadz units, picture books are employed "To Help Kids Connect."
