Red

"This series will help young readers learn and appreciate the colors that surround them. Each volume focuses on a different color, and encourages readers to locate it in the book and in their world. The text is clear and straightforward, and expressed in charming rhyming prose. Each cover highlights its feature color with an eye-catching photo set against the same-colored background. High-quality photos support the text, and sidebars in boxes of the featured color present additional ­information. The language here is generally geared to more mature readers. A glossary and art extension projects are included in the back ­matter. VERDICT Recommended for schools and public libraries. A fine ­introduction to color literacy."
