Colors of Nature

by Kate Riggs, Domeniconi Paolo (Illustrator)

Learning the names of colors is a fundamental part of a child's development. Most of the time, a color is associated with a common object or living thing—a red apple, a green frog, and so on. In this illustrated, conceptual board book, though, colors are emblematic of the seasons of the year. Young readers will make unexpected connections and enjoy pointing out everything in the featured color as they turn from page to page.

Rowan loved the boat and kitty most, and when I'd point out the tree and fish, he'd get excited about those too. I really like the illustrations and the imaginative and magical sense of wonder they give to the world around us. It's a soothing read that moves with competence, though the text doesn't rise to the level of the illustrations. But the balance the two make seems a solid one, where we're anchored in the simple and familiar (even slightly mundane) text, while the illustrations are expansive, suggesting worlds of possibility. Rowan didn't ask for it, but he always liked reading it.

Elliot wasn’t a fan of this one; I’m not entirely sure why because he’s really into colors right now. It’s has very short, simple text; perfect for infants and toddlers. But he just preferred others right now.

*library book. Read to Elliot at 21 months
