I miss having little kids! I love picture books, especially ones such as this one. Colors! is written in a way that small children will understand. The words on each page match the illustrations perfectly. Each picture is vivid and bright, which really captures the attention.

The story shows a bunch of children who are experiencing colors through a walk outside. Not only do they encounter many types of flowers, but they find a few colorful surprises along the way. The book is very whimsical and charming and it's sure to be a hit with any preschool aged child.

My daughter, my neice and I all love the illustrations in this book. It's cute and quite clever with depictions of color items anybody would find out on a springtime walk, no matter where you live.

Colors

Thanks so very much Ms Dempsey for the colorful well illustrated book. I get to teach my grandchildren about colors and where they can be found (Everywhere)! It a good teaching book, something we can read over and over again. I would recommend this book to parents of young children who are ready to learn colors and spell small words. I gave this book five stars because it contains words, colors and imagination we can always go back to refer to again and again! 👏👏🙌🙌👍👍🎉🎉

This is another wonderful book for preschool age children. In this book the author has introduced colors to the reader through a group of kids who go out to pick flowers. Follow along as they discover all of the colors to be found in flowers and a few colors that aren't flowers, but insects. The pictures in this book are so cute and charming.

This is a colorful, playful book. The illustrations are bright, cheery and rememberable. This great book will help the young readers learn a few more words. Don't forget to trace the big words with your finger and spell them. Then say them out loud. Yeah!! Another way to have fun with this book. Also remember this is a story. That deserves another Yeah!!
