Colours

Alain Gree's beautiful illustrations from the 1960s and 70s are known throughout the world. With their naivety of form and bold use of colour, their charm is undeniable. Aimed at children aged 2 to 5 years, Colours is a beautiful arlin-covered hardback with embossed artwork and jacket. Clear, easy-to-read text is presented alongside the illustrations to teach a child to recognise a range of colours. Short sentences that use the colour are featured throughout as examples to reinforce and learn from. Despite their simplicity, there is a richness of content in the illustrations that children will be fascinated by, and this wealth of information will be a joy for adults to share and discuss, making the potential for learning endless.

Alain Gree is a French author and illustrator of children's books. He has had over 300 books published, which have been translated into 20 different languages. He has also worked as a children's broadcaster on French national television.
