Reviews

There are lots of options of places to put emphasis or focus in this book, and the constant red balloon is clever. I was disappointed to see a unicycle and even hot air balloon but no practical micromobility like 2-wheeled bicycles, scooters, or skateboards.

Very short. Just colors and vehicles. Good for one year olds.

In the past we have been very entertained learning and practicing numbers and opposites with our Everything Goe board books and this new one on colors is just as great. These are the best for the earliest readers's memorization as they "read" to themselves after reading it with mom or dad once or twice. Interest is definitely kept throughout as the red balloon journeys around vehicles of various color. In a way on it's journey it reminds me of an old wordless international film The Red Balloon. All in all, we're delighted to see more Everything Goes.

Thanks to HC.

A red balloon takes a colorful trip through town.

This book helps teach transportation and colors. Animation is fun and my son likes the orange helicopter and the cat in the sailboat.
