Colors: Touch, Listen, & Learn Features Inside!

by Katie Wilson (Artist)

Touch and learn. Explore the colors of the rainbow in the newest addition to the Montessori-inspired Discovery Concepts series! This colorful title features sandpaper cutouts on each monochromatic spread to encourage young readers to interact with the book as they learn colors. One-of-a-kind colorful illustrations, sturdy board pages, and no moveable parts make this a unique addition to an early learning collection. About the Discovery Concepts Discovery Concepts books celebrate Montessori’s curious discovery approach to learning. Maria Montessori believed “the hand is the chief teacher of the brain,” encouraging students to learn by touch and created specially designed materials such as sandpaper letters to support this method. Inspired by her teachings, each book in the Discovery Concepts board book collection uses tactile enhancements to engage young children in discovering the topic at hand. Beyond the tactile elements each title is designed to capture a child’s imagination and curiosity as they learn.

A very pretty color book. Ours is a simple, board book version.

[Barbara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Youngsters will enjoy the interactive aspect of this board book as they view various scenes and touch a colored swath of plastic. The nature scenes are lively and filled with movement, and readers will be able to connect the color with something that contains the color. Over the book's pages, young readers will find red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, and white elements, all appearing in different shapes to fit the objects or creatures featured here. This book offers a good introduction to colors, and because the images are interesting, they should hold readers' interest while teaching them a basic concept.

[Kelsey Moran · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book has creative art but the only word on the page is the color it is trying to represent. When I picked this book off of Epic, I thought it was going to have a story that was relating colors to things, but it was not. I think that it is a good book for children who maybe in pre-school and maybe kindergarten. It was not quality either because it has no storyline, characters, plot, or tone to the book. Literarily just colors. I liked the art style, but I wish there were more to the book than just that.
