Fun! Immediately I thought of the feltboard possibility with this book. The building nature of the story, the colors the kids are learning, and the objects they are mostly familiar with will be great. And it uses the word "fishies." Totally has me! I'll just have to get some felt stuffs ready and we're good to go!!
4/14/11 Fabulous. With both groups. Instead of felt, I printed out coloring pages (of varying sizes) for each of the items in the story. Then I spent last night c More...

This is a simple book, but wonderfully done. I found it sitting on our coffee table. I imagine it belongs in my son's room.
This is a repetitive book. There's a blue sea. There's a red rock on the blue sea. There's a green tree on the red rock on the blue sea, etc.
The accompanying illustrations are vibrant. Fish appear. A rainbow shows up. As does a cloud and rain.
This is a good book for toddlers/younger children who are learning their colors and/or

This book allows children to explore colors through the ocean. The Deep Blue Sea would be for younger children. It would be very useful in the classroom when discussing colors.

THE DEEP BLUE SEA: A BOOK OF COLORS is another great picture book teaching children the concept of colors that uses two page spreads, bright pictures and simple text.

This book gradually incorporated a different color into the ocean scene. This would be a wonderful book for preschoolers and introducing the colors to them.

I usually like the Woods books but this one is low down on my list. Nice bright colors but the story and illustrations didn't do much for me.

not standard color book, this one builds a story on on island using bright bold illustrations.

This one I'd definitely keep this delightful picture book in mind for a storytime on colors!

The illustrations in this book are absolutely amazing. There isn't really a storyline to the book--it's very simple and repetitive, so it's a great one to use with really young kids. After the first few pages, they can really help "read" the story. I always get distracted by the illustrations, though.

I enjoyed reading this with Sadie because of the pattern of the text. Sadie wanted me to read over and over and over again. She got to where she could finish the sentences for me when I would pause to see if she would do just that. Not only that but she is learning her colors. This is a great book!

Both of my kids (now 4 and 2) LOVE this book. They have it memorized. It's definitely one of our favorites.
