Wonderful visual representations of how colors are mixed

The Color Dance shows 4 children, each "dancing" with a large colored scarf. There are the three primary colors, red, yellow, and blue, and as they overlay their scarves, it illustrates how the primary colors are mixed to create other colors. The fourth child overlays the colors with white, gray, and black to show how white makes colors paler and gray and black make colors darker. As it's said, a picture is worth a thousand words. The illustrations in this book make it easy for even a very young child to understand how colors are made.

a delight

My two year old daughter adores this book. I heard about it through a book list and then we checked it out from the library. She kept asking for it so we bought her own copy - love it!

Color Dance

I bought this book for my 4-year-old granddaughter. She loved it! Sometimes we dance while we read it and sometimes we talk about different color combinations. Great one-on-one time!

wonderful colors

My two-year old daughter absolutely loves this book. She loves the colors and the dancers and their scarves. She also has fun making the color combinations illustrated in the book with her own finger paints. It's a wonderful, beautiful book.

Wonderful way to teach kids to read names of colors.

It's appropriate for age 3 & 4 year olds to learn to read the entire book by themselves. Wonderful as a first reader!
