Ok. I know what you need. If you have a dictionary of Chengyu, I mean 成语词典，you will find a symbol like 褒 or 贬 in the explanation. 褒 means positive and 贬 means negative

I have been reading 成语故事, from a children's book, but someone commented that an idioms have positive or negative meaning. I wanted to know if there was an easy way to determine that.

Honestly, this is impossible. You can only try to understand the褒义 or 贬义 based on the in-text message, and collect Chengyu through time. You can try to memorize a dictionary, but that would be a boring to death and unaccomplishable mission.
