First sentence: Yellow like a submarine, purple like the rain...
...the world is full of colors rocking all around.
Premise/plot: This is a rock-inspired color concept books for music loving parents (and grandparents) to share with the little ones in their lives. It is a board book. The colors introduced are red, blue, black, white, silver, green, yellow, and pink. Rainbows are also celebrated with a nod to neglected colors like orange and purple.
Here is how red is introduced:
Red is for 99 Red Balloons soaring over Strawberry Fields on a Ruby Tuesday.
My thoughts: I liked this color concept board book. It does list the songs and artists mentioned throughout the book. Definitely this list is more for adults (obviously). While parents may choose this board book because of the "rock" theme, little ones can enjoy the hands-on experience of lap-time of read aloud time.
Part of me is annoyed (slightly) that there is no author listed. It is never a good sign when publishers are like, well, the author just doesn't matter--no credit needs to be given. That being said, the book is bright and colorful. The text is more than adequate for teaching colors. Some spreads have a better rhythmic flow--I love the red example--than others. But overall, I definitely liked it.

Cute idea, terrible execution

What better way for Mavis to learn her colors than to read a book that references some of the greatest songs in rock n roll history?
Moral: Explore all the colors of the rainbow.
Length: Too short; this book’s nostalgia could have gone on for a while.
Favorite Line: “The Black Dog and the Blackbird are jamming together while the White Rabbit rides the White Limo to the White Room.”
Overall Impression: This is a novel idea and duopress labs does a nice job of referencing some songs I didn’t even know. But it doesn’t tell a story, so that costs a star. It also shies away from women and minority groups songs. (Looking at you “Green Onions” and “Goldeneye.”) We still had fun with it and you will too.

I could see this being a popular baby shower gift for parents who are music fans or musicians. Lots of song titles with colors in their name are referenced throughout the pages. Adults will be seeing how many of the songs they can identify (lots of classic rock), while tots learn their colors. Cute pictures, and it's always nice to see references to some of rock music's greatest tunes.

I like the concept of incorporating classic songs into a children's book, but the pages felt way too busy. Maybe the physical book needs to be bigger? Maybe fewer songs need to be mentioned? I felt overwhelmed.

Cute book with a lot of illustrative detail. Fun learning about colors and songs.
