The poetry of color

I'd agree with a reviewer who didn't consider this world class poetry; however, it is more than suitable and entertaining for the preschool set. The words and concepts are simple to understand, but admittedly the emotional depth of Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny/Rabbit are missing. However, I'm not sure those are necessary or even appropriate for a book aiming to acquaint preschoolers with colors. The illustrations are without question standouts. From the first page, you get the sense that you are accompanying a little creature- including your own- on a trip through a magical world of color and light. Orange sunrises and purple twilight skies- accompanied by their Easter eggs- seemed to pop off the page, as did the pink pig toes. Even if your preschooler won't sit still for the poetry, s/he will probably be more than happy to stare at the pictures while you name the colors and possibly point out the names of the animals. Pulitzer winning material? No. But definitely a beautiful read for 2 to 3 year olds.

Color My World.....

Come tag along with painter mouse and his apprentice, as they take the reader on a whimsical, color-filled adventure. Margaret Wise Brown's simple and lyrical rhymes are engaging and introduce each of eleven colors. But it's Loretta Krupinski's exquisite and imaginative illustrations that make this picture book a real standout. Each dazzling two page spread is centered around one color, and the bold, bright, and busy artwork invites little ones to linger and explore. With a creative summary of colors at the end, to help youngsters remember what they learned, My World Of Color is an interactive feast for the eyes, and a definite preschool crowd pleaser you don't want to miss.
