I'm a sucker for a good children's book - as we all know. So when I run across a good SERIES of children's books...well just look out world!
Christianne C. Jones authored a series of books called "Know Your Colors". Each of the color books has a different color theme - as well as a cute theme for the book. We ran across these books at the library - started with Blue last week and ended up with Blue, Red, Yellow, Purple and Green today!
These are very cute books - as you can see - all organized a central theme for that color. Splish Splash and Blue was a huge hit with D. It's quick sentences - rhyming - and in the blue instance, all focused on a trip to the water park and everything that's blue there.
What I like even more is the add-ons in the book that you don't really realize until you have more than a few moments to get started that the books give a full page of information on colors/that particular color before the story starts.
ALSO - there's a seek-and-find on EVERY page - as there's a crayon in the title color hidden somewhere on each page. I find myself looking for it while we're reading the books, even though D isn't quite interested in that aspect yet. It will give the books another use/job for the child reading it - most likely getting them to spend more time with the story, even solo, which is a huge goal for parents and I would imagine authors as well.
I love these books. A few are available in paperback - the rest are kind-of expensive hardcover. However - if you have a local library like mine - these are a great way to introduce colors. I had planned to do one a week - but D loved them so much we'll just dive right in!
Just another positive review from the book lover!
