Yellow / Amarillo

by Meritxell Martí Orriols, Xavier Salomó Fisa (Illustrator)

Did you know that colors can tell stories? The illustrations in this clever board book introduce your brilliant baby to all kinds of things that are yellow, including tall giraffes and tiny ducklings, pyramids and temples, a straw hat and a vase of sunflowers. This fun story begins on the African savanna and leads in surprising directions, all in fresh and happy shades of yellow.

Part of the Colors series.

I adore this! It actually took me a while to catch on (probably because I was focused on my pronunciation) that the pages were linked.

I recommend this whole series! Rojo y Verde were great, and so was Amarillo. Next up: Azul.

A beautiful yellow book where every page and illustration side by side could be a gorgeous poster.

Este es un “primer libro”, esta pensado para edades que van de 1 año o más, pero puede disfrutarlo en cualquier edad.
El libro es una secuencia de ilustraciones relacionadas con el color de su título, en cada página hay una ilustración con un o dos palabras, y en cada ilustración se puede observar parte de la imagen previa y una pista sobre la imagen siguiente. Me gusto mucho que la secuencia de imágenes “no tiene fin” considerando que la última ilustración esta relacionada con la primera.
