This addition to Tad Carpenter's collection of "call and response" books features the signature alternating flaps and vivid illustrations readers have grown to enjoy. The final two-page spread, featuring many colors (with a shout out to black and white), felt a little disappointing. In sticking with the previous, successful formula of eight featured pairs per book, Carpenter was unable to integrate the colors brown and pink (...although readers could be prompted to find those colors in the illustrations).

Great for storytimes for littles! A fun, lift-the-flap book teaching littles about color and the world around them. Endearing illustrations and a good review of colors on the last page.

More colors in Spanish and this book was perfect - I say an object in English and you say the color in Spanish! Perfect!

I SAY, YOU SAY COLORS! is a cute book. The artwork is bright and cheerful and the format is fun as it gives little one's a chance to participate in the reading.

The format is that the adult says something and then the child(ren) reply. Here's an example:

"I say sun, you say..."
"YELLOW!"

"I say grass, you say..."
"GREEN!"

The pictures for Yellow show the sun and yellow kites with the happy animals flying them. The pictures for Green show animals playing soccer. So there is lots to talk about. The colors, the animals, and their activities.

SUMMARY
This is a nice little boardbook. The pages are highly plasticized, and the flaps fold out in different directions. (That took a little getting used to ;) Colors addressed are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Black-and-White.. with the last scenario showing all the colors and a rainbow.

thanks to the publisher for a review copy

My daughter loved this one. She apparently liked it so much that she ripped the library's copy, forcing me to buy it. Thanks kid.

It really was a fun book, but I don't like how the pages don't fold out the same way (hence the reason the book got ripped).

This is a great book to read aloud to ECE level readers! Not only does it associate objects and colors, but it makes it engaging and fun. Great pictures and lots of bright colors.
