This book is almost too simple. Kind of boring. And it says "Pink Whiskers Pink Ears" and shows a picture of Maisy, but her whiskers and ears aren't really very pink.

I like this [o-o] book because it was about colors, yeah: red, yellow, gurple, and purple, and murple, and of course, knerple, which is a knee that is purple. And last but not least, a nerple, which is a nervous color of purple.

So the coal car, that wasn't really part of the book. That's just because "I like this book" looked like a train to me, but I wanted it to have a coal car: [o-o]

Love, Murder, Politics, a surprise ending!

None of these things are in this book. It's great to sit with your niece and read with her as she asks "Why?" repeatedly.

Luka's favourite page is "Black Spots". I say "Spot spot spot spot spot!" and he goes nuts.

Este libro contiene dibujos sencillos y bonitos, explicando los colores. Al final Maisy esta mirando diez globos de diferentes colores.

Libro muy lindo. De gran utilidad para que los niños aprendan los colores, junto con su amiga de libro favorito Maisy.

Cute, but young for Eleanor. Too bad we didn't find this one a year ago.

Nice, fun, vibrant, illustrations to help a little one learn their colours. I like that each page provides things to discuss with the little one too.

A simple story about Maisy exploring colors. Fun for toddlers.

[Elizabeth S · Rating 2 out of 5]

Good enough. It has Maisy. Each page has Maisy with a "green train" or a "red coat."
