About This Book

Children see a variety of animals, each one a different color, and a teacher looking at them.

Our Review

This vibrant picture book introduces early color recognition through a rhythmic parade of animals, each distinguished by a bold, singular hue. Young readers will encounter a bright red bird, a yellow duck, and a series of other creatures, all observed by a watchful teacher. The repetitive, chant-like text makes it an ideal read-aloud for building phonemic awareness and pre-reading skills. The simple, high-contrast illustrations are perfectly designed to capture and hold a toddler's attention.

What sets this classic apart is its masterful combination of predictable language and clear, graphic art, creating an interactive experience that encourages children to chime in. It is particularly beneficial for preschoolers just beginning to name colors and identify common animals. The book’s gentle, cumulative structure builds confidence with each turn of the page, making the final, colorful reunion a satisfying conclusion that young children will want to experience again and again.
