Las extrañas y divertidas criaturas de Etienne Delessert introducen, mediante una lúdica didáctica, la teoría del color. Delessert se sirve del arcoíris para presentar los colores básicos y dejar un valioso mensaje: «Las mezclas sutiles crean los colores más bellos». A todo color es el primer título de una original trilogía de libros de descubrimiento que se completará con A como abecedario y Hambre de números.
Okay, I can't decide with this book. The little Color monsters are cute, but never explained. Also, "indigo like dye"? I know that indigo was a rich and sought after dye in ancient times, but not all dye is indigo. What a terrible way to introduce an already puzzling color.
I thought the creatures were kinda weird. I did like how they overlap each other. The naming of some colors was confusing for my toddler, i.e. should it be "purple" or "indigo" or what?
This has been my three year olds favorite book for over a year (out of a couple of hundred available to her). She brings it time and again, over the last few weeks it's an every day thing. The simplicity makes it appealing to her, she loves the creatures (she calls them mouse rabbits) and the sparse words help her to try to sound out parts by herself. A simple view into the world of color, but a nice introduction for little ones that gives a foundation for how color mixing works and what the spectrum is. Very appealing for the kids, who are the important audience.
Fun creatures (not sure what they are, really (humanlike ants?) introduce the colors of the rainbow, basics of mixing colors and the concepts on black and white. This would make a nice introductory book for a preschool program on colors or painting.
