About the author
Ross Collins
187 books46 followersRoss was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1972.
He would eat anything and resembled a currant bun.
As he grew up he was fond of drawing, the Bionic Man and precariously swinging backwards on chairs.
He graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 1994 with a First in Illustration. In the same year he won the MacMillan Children's Book Prize an achievement that opened many doors in the Big Smoke.
Ross then spent two years in London cultivating an exotic image of the scribbling Scotsman abroad.
Longing for the cold and damp of the North, Ross returned to Glasgow, where he spends his time writing and illustrating children's books, doing animation character development, walking the dug by the banks of Loch Lomond and precariously swinging backwards on chairs.

A fun book to explore potential meanings of different colours with children. Emmy and Jeff each give a suggestion for each colour, allowing children the opportunity to add their own. I think there are definitely better book which explore meanings of colour, looking more at emotions rather than random words but the book is still fun. The book is labelled as dyslexia-friendly which is great!

A fun way of exploring colours and different associations with them. Miss 5 enjoyed it and liked that different reactions and interests were shown for the two characters.
Miss 5 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Cute, but a little confusing for younger readers / listeners. The ending would leave me wondering a lot.
