| Summary: | Covers the world of color perception and what in a child's community is that color. |
| Critical Annotation: | This wonderful series will be great for young children to learn about colors and what in the community reflects those colors. The books are simple, colorful, and will be easy for children as young as 2 to finish the sentences. The print is very large with lovely full color illustrations on each page which are often quite humorous. One concept about color is taught on each page. The children in the illustrations are multiethnic and the illustrations cover many things in the community that represent that color. There is a teaching guide at the conclusion as well as a game that makes a good culminating activity. There are discussion questions as well as reviews of previously covered concepts. This series with its modern outlook with community connections and diverse populations will be excellent for teaching the concept of color. |
