Sara Anderson, celebrated designer and children's book author and illustrator, joyfully introduces toddlers to all her all-time favorite subject--color--from fire-engine red to grasshopper green. The innovative conceptual design features thick, sturdy, boldly colorful cardboard pages of graduated lengths, so from the first page, children will work their way through a rainbow. The very last spread, black, cleverly incorporates all the previously shown colors and whimsical images in Anderson's signature cut-paper style. A unique introduction to color for the preschool set.

From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-- Two concept books with stiff pages and a spiral binding that use vivid colors and a simple poster art style to create a rainbow effect as each subsequent page becomes larger. The first page of Colors reveals a fire engine labelled "red." Each new electric hue displays a familiar scene: "green" is a pond environment, "orange" a jack-o-lantern. Not all of the selections are appropriate, as with a meadow in unpleasant shades of purple. The confusing final page, which is an unsuccessful attempt to draw the book to a conclusion, is labelled "black," but all of the colors are present. The more favorable Numbers begins with one chicken and ends with ten cars. Each page has an Arabic numeral, a group of common objects, and a like number of dots which lends itself to the progression to larger pages. The format of these gimmicky titles, however, is inappropriate for school or public libraries. There are many other color and counting books which deliver a more satisfying experience. --Debby Jeffery, San Francisco Public Library
