Inhaltsangabe

An essential board book for young children illustrated with vibrant red, yellow, and blue colors of everyday objects.

Red, Yellow, Blue, and You, an adaptation of Abbeville&;s beautiful My First Colors series, features each primary color to teach children about the role of red, yellow, and blue in their everyday lives. The texture of watercolor collages makes children want to touch the pages and, with sturdy pages and a padded cover, Red, Yellow, Blue, and You is tough enough to withstand the daily (and nightly) wear and tear of little hands.

“Are you ready for red?&; ranges from buckets of berries to urban landscapes of stop signs and fire engines. Asking, “What can you do with yellow?&; bright watercolors of lions, lemons, bumblebees, and taxis fill the pages. And “Bring on the blue!&; introduces a countryside of forget-me-nots, bluefish, and a starry night sky.

With collages of torn paper watercolors and simple poetic text, this attractive board book will be enjoyed time and time again. Young children will learn that a single word can encompass many “shades&; of meaning, and that colors are what make everyday life vivid and exciting.

Excerpt from Red, Yellow, Blue, and You

It's a brand new day,
so much to see and do.
Colors are everywhere:
RED and YELLOW and BLUE.

Roses bloom and meet the day,
they always smell so sweet.
Berries are for breakfast,
they're a red that you can eat.
