I didn’t want to read this book at first, but the next time my mom showed it to me, I thought it was very funny!

Not as good as sounds. Nice photography.

Creature Colors is a very basic book of colors with colored photographs of animals as the illustrative point.

Each color is dedicated a spread with the color on one page in large thematic colored font and the photo on the opposite side. There is no text to mention what animal has been chosen as the model while the font color is hit or miss - brown looks orange, yellow is a dark mustard-type and of course black is flipped so it doesn't disappear into the page.

At the same time each animal including the Snowy Owl is presented with a white background. Unfortunately many animals aren't centered or scaled right thus leaving lots of negative space besides the models.

All in all it was decent for what it was and as a pass-through book to the next stage of learning.

The book "Creature Colors" illustrations make this book great. Having different color of animals with a backgroup that is pure white helps the color pop and be noticed. Very good book to teach children about colors in real life situation.it also shows the color in word form. Can get confusing at times since some animals can be multiple colors. I loved how they showed well known animals as well as animals you would not see everyday. Great book for young children who are trying to learn there colors.

Each page features a different color with a single, photographic image of an animal. Gray, for instance, is an elephant, and green is a frog. Simple, but the youngest kiddos will enjoy the photographs.

Filled with crisp and clear photographs of animals against a white background, these books stand out visually in a crowded board book market. The Colors book is the more successful of the two with the colors popping on each page. The Numbers book is still well done and extends from counting individual animals to counting legs and fins as well. Both books are strong additions to library and family collections.

There are plenty of books that teach children about the colors they will need to know as they move through the world, but few of them focus on colors in the natural world. With its up close examination of animals in nature--a red snake, a white owl, a gray elephant, and a yellow bird, among others--the board book provides a handsome introduction to colors in the more exotic part of the world.

The basic one color, one animal learn the color book. Lots of white space so the toddler will focus on the animal and the color word which is depicted in the color, i.e. the word yellow is produced in yellow.

Woods (3mo)really liked this one! I think because there isn't too much going on, on each page so he can really focus on one picture and word at a time.

Are there no naturally purple animals? (But "yay" for the inclusion of white, gray, black, and brown.)

Gorgeous colors, nice use of familiar and unfamiliar animals.
