Originally, I had marked this book as worthy of 4 stars. Today, at 2 years, 11 months old, Happy Baby Colors became the first ever book that Jack read himself! He picked it up while I was reading to him this evening (probably because his sister wanted to pay with it) and just started reading all the words out loud. Naturally, I stopped reading Curious George Goes to the Hospital midsentence and listened, ocassionally helping him with some of the trickier words (who doesn't mistake the word 'koala' for 'bunny' sometimes?!). So, now, I consider this to be one of the all-time best kiddo books ever. So proud!

My favorite baby book, by FAR! If you know a baby, buy them this book! We skip the boring 'plot line' and go straight for pretty pictures of brightly colored objects and smiling babies. What's not to love?

Read to my tiny grandson. Sometimes he likes the babies; sometimes he likes the banana, birds, sheep, etc.

Babies of different races are presented wearing different primary colors and color combinations (like multi-colored and black and white). Eye catching and intriguing to my littlest reader.

The best baby colors book we've found.

Mercy is still too young to understand what she's reading or learning, but that doesn't stop her from loving certain books. We got this one for a steal at a baby consignment sale yesterday and she not only browsed through it most of the time we were wheeling around in the stroller, but wanted it again this morning. So I sat down with her and read through it all the way. She loves turning the pages and looking at the pictures. We have a lot of texture and ABC children books, but not a lot with colors. This one is especially fun as it matches the color to a variety of items (food, clothing, toys, animals, etc) as well as a picture of a child with something that matches the color for that page. Definitely keeping this one in the library. Hopefully she'll continue to love it as she grows old enough to learn what it says and match the colors at the end on her own.

This book is often out on display at the library and Natalie will look at it often. This week we took it out for the first time. It is a pretty nice color book. All the colors are given a full page spread. Each has three or four small, labeled pictures of objects that are that color was well as a large picture of a baby with an object that item (like a blanket or clothing item). At the end, there is multicolored and black and white together (they get separate pages earlier). The very end has matching for red, yellow, blue, and green. A good choice for a colors book.

Clara (5 month old) loves the red and yellow pages. For some reason she gets VERY angry at purple. I'm kind of mad at purple too because I don't feel the pajamas used are a good representation of the color. Also, for the color orange, an orange is used.

Also a great book for kids who don't know the difference between food and books.

worn to shreds. I am not sure why the children love this one so much!

One of my babies faves!

Helena, 9 months, loves it. She thinks the yellow page is funnier than the rest!

[Amanda Cone · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would definitely keep this in my library. Kinder and first grade students would enjoy reading this book to younger siblings to help them learn their colors.

Never thought I'd comment on a book like this but seriously- kids LOVE it. All kids.
