PreS-K-This enjoyable introduction to the colors of the natural world opens by explaining, in word and picture, that color is everywhere. There are examples of plants and creatures that are single colors (tomatoes), two-toned (butterflies), and multicolored (parrots). The second half of the book features a guessing game. Under each photograph is a question; for example, "What's the color of this salamander?" The verso offers the answer. Most of the photographs are large and display glorious hues and clear, close-up pictures of smiling children of different ethnic backgrounds. An entertaining book, especially for audience participation in storytimes.-Anne Chapman Callaghan, Racine Public Library, WI Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
