Fantastic artwork and bold colors!

Nicolette reading time at the library.

Love the bold drawings and short enough that my toddler kept interested the whole time

[Marissa]

Cute illustrations, with matching background color and different visual textures. The black and white pages are a little confusing to explain, though!

[Natalie]

Loved the colors, loved the art, and loved that it also named the objects of each color.

R (5 months) was way into this book, and I love Jane Foster’s illustrations: they’re adorable.

Read this to E the other day. He was not super impressed, but I feel like he is not super impressed by anything other than food these days. But I liked it! All the colors (including turquoise), lots of animals, and, of course, Jane Foster's lovely bold art. I just enjoy reading all of hers so much!

This combined review of Jane Foster's Colors and Jane Foster's Black and White also appears on my blog, Read-at-Home Mom.

These books are the latest concept board books from graphic designer Jane Foster. Miss Muffet likes them both a lot, and she is constantly pointing out their similarities to Foster's ABC and 123 titles which we received for review several months ago and still read regularly. Of the two, I prefer the colors book, as it teaches the traditional colors of the rainbow plus some fun additions like turquoise. Though the black and white book is good for a brand-new baby who can't see that well yet, it is not just as interesting to devote an entire book to just two colors. Regardless, though, both books are visually striking and would be great to have on display in a library's board book area.

I like the illustration but some of the pairings seem a little suspect.

A nice review of colors with vibrant and classic graphics.
