Ruby, Violet, Lime: Looking for Color by Jane Brocket is a picture book ready for release on September 1 2011, which explores colors in terms that children can easily understand and enjoy. The pictures of objects in the shades mentioned are vibrant and bright. They are cheerful images that are familiar to children of all ages. The objects are things that one might see everyday, although it is not that often that my flowers or cupcakes are quite so vividly colored. The prose that describes to col...more
This is a beautiful color book that really takes the time to show and discuss color in an almost matter-of-fact way. The photograph pictures that make up each page are vivid and captivating in their color. This is such a more satisfying book than another color book I discovered this year Except the Color Grey which really didn't make a lot of sense or discuss the colors in as much detail.

I was attracted to the book by the cover and the lovely colors on it. I think kids will be too. A wonderful book that explores colors through photos of real life objects. The photographs are amazing! Best for primary kids, this is going in my collection for use in kindergarten as a concept book, first grade as a tool to work on secondary colors, and second grade as a book they can read themselves. The photos are so bright and cheery.

Jane Brocket is the popular author of the Yarnstorm blog. She first came to my attention years ago since she often blogged about crafty things and her posts were illustrated with bright, colorful images that she takes herself. Over the years, Brocket has penned several books, including the gorgeous and inspiring The Gentle Art of Domesticity. Seriously, if you have a creative friend who loves beautiful things then her book is a must have. Ruby, Violet, Lime: Looking for Color is the first in a s...more
Colors everywhere. From cupcakes to shoes to flowers to railings and even fudge, each one is a different color. Pastels and metallics and dark shades can be seen in everything around us in every place we look. The world is full of color and sometimes it may be a bit hard to pick only one favorite, but perhaps you don’t have to.

I adore the beautiful, vivid, bright pictures in Jane Brocket's newest book Ruby, Violet, Lime: Looking for Color.
This book would make a great read aloud for preschool children and would help teach the concepts of the color wheel to elementary aged children. Primary colors, secondary colors, black, white, brown, gray, pink, silver and gold are all featured with amazing color photographs.

The BEST book about colors that I've ever read! The author does a great job of photographing all of the colors in nature and using different names in text to refer to each color and she manages to convey each color's emotion. So great!
Describes the concept of colors - primary, secondary, and color mixing. Brocket uses a variety of words to describe each color. Great for enhancing vocabulary!
The photography and choices of images are stunning.

This is a super-bright, fun color concept book that introduces not only the colors themselves, but primary, secondary, and pastels, with many great synonyms for each color (good vocab building as well).
I loved the super bright colors, the descriptive text, and that the book provided good information. This is a really fun color concept book.
One of the best color-concept books I've come across in a long time! Great use of rare vocabulary words and gorgeous photographs.
Wonderful book about colors -- gorgeous pictures and the descriptions of the colors are amazing and appropriate. Loved it.
Bold vibrant colors on every page. they even include silver and gold.
