Great first book on colors.

This had potential to be a five-star book, but then yellow freaked me the fuck out for some reason. Damn amarillo--I'll be ready for you next time.

[Alissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a K-3 Concept book. Its also multicultural because it teaches readers the spanish words for colors and a few other objects corresponding to the colors. An example is the color blue which is azul in spanish. On the adjacent page is a blue fish and in spanish a fish is el pescado.

This book would be great for kindergarten teachers who are doing a lesson on colors while teaching the students the spanish counterparts. It would be great to use in a multiculutal lesson plan as well to teach children about another culture.

I simply adore all of the book by Rebecca Emberley. Her illustrations are very simple, slightly quirky and visually a joy to read. For a family wishing to be bi-lingual in English and Spanish, I highly recommend this series as well.

This book is designed for the very young, infant and toddlers but certainly could be used with older children. Its a concept book on colors, in both English and Spanish. Beautiful and vibrant illustrations!

If you are trying to learn your colors in spanish this is your book. It has the colors in both english and spanish so you can read it if you know both languages. I now know what my colors are in spanish. It also gives you objects of that color in both languages so you get more then just colors. This is a great book for if you have students trying to learn a language that way they can see what is looks like and sounds like.

I am an adult learning Spanish. I checked out this book to learn my colors. The bonus was learning the word for something that is the corresponding color. The bold illustrations along with full page color helped solidify the information in my mind. ¡Es bueno!

3 1/2 stars.

Colors and popular items associated w/ them in both Spanish and English.

Pretty simple book with a one-page spread for each color. The first page has the name of the color in English and Spanish. The opposing page has an object to represent that color, again with the name of it in both languages. A great first book about colors for bilingual children, or for English-speaking children whose parents want them to start learning Spanish at a young age.

I'm not particularly invested in teaching my 11-month-old Spanish right now. (I'm not opposed to it, but I've chosen to play to my strengths and do French with him... don't want to confuse him with too many languages at once) But I do teach Spanish to elementary-age children and might pick up a copy of this to have an extra visual for when we do colors.

My neighbor's daughter climbed into my lap at the library to have me read this to her (which she's never done before and was cute, though a little strange for me to have someone's child in my lap). Its a very simple first colors book. Each page spread is dedicated to one color. The left is that color with a picture of an object of that color on the right. Both side are labeled in both English and Spanish. My little neighbor was quite taken with this book and read it herself several times, had me read, and her aunt read it.

Basically could write the same review for this as I did for the numbers book in this series. I like that it's dual language--but that's about it. Otherwise the illustrations aren't that good and the things chosen to represent each color seem sort of haphazardly selected.

Nice to have the bilingual part of this book, but otherwise unremarkable.

I love this book! It’s the very first book I ever read and is one of my absolute favourites, and I love how colourful it is and the fact that it’s bilingual.

[Joy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the bright, simple illustrations and that the book is multilingual.

[Crystal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book in my college class as a multicultural book. I really liked how this book not only had english words with the colors, numbers, and pictures, but also Spanish words. This is a great book to help children learn and understand just a little bit of a different language.
