Discovering the world of colors - and the world of animals - is even more fun when each shaped page is wider than the last.
A trio of yellow butterflies. A group of pink flamingos. A family of orange foxes. A skyful of fluttering black bats. And finally, a multitude of vividly colored fish, swimming across a broad expanse. Philippe Dupasquier fills each graduated page with his buoyant illustrations. What better way for kids to learn their colors - or be inspired to create colorful examples of their own?

This is a great book for infants and toddlers. I love that it introduces so many different colors and animals. However, the book itself is poorly made. I've gone through two copies of this book and the one I have now is barely still holding together with ample amounts of tape. I just think the small binding is unable to hold up such long pages.
