What a great book! Readers will learn their colors by seeing the incorrect color first and then, eureka! The right color! Bright illustrations and die cuts add to the fun of turning each page until, finally, it's time to say goodnight! Great for toddlers and pre-schoolers alike.

Review: A color concept book,is fun becaust it can be interactive. It would be fun for the readers or listeners to correct or laugh at the obvious mis-matched colors.

recommends it for:
Ages 2-5, small group story time

CIP: Red lemons turn yellow, purple carrots turn orange, white reindeer turn brown, and so on in this book about color for children.
Reviews: "This engaging presentation invites participation, but the small trim size, although suitable for children's hands, may make group sharing difficult." -Booklist

fabulous. Only problem -- my baby likes to grab the cutouts and use them to turn the pages, which means this book wouldn't last long in our house. oh for a board book of this.

My kids love this book! The words are simple enough for a beginning reader to ready by themselves and the story uses humor to teach/reinforce color recognition.

Everyone thinks kids books are easy to write. But again I'm amazed at how many bad ones I come across that neither Silas or I like. This one is great!

This was the first book Soren learned to read several years ago. It is brilliant in it's simplicity. Great for young children.

This is a great storytime book. I like to do sign language for the colors as I go through it with the kids.

Lemons are not red. Lemons are yellow! Fun predictable color story for preschoolers.
