The colors of the rainbow are explored in this multisensory book.

In this short but sweet presentation, each basic color is given its own page to shine, culminating in a final double-page spread showing off the entire spectrum. Little ones are encouraged to interact with the book in a number of ways. Touch-and-feel elements, flaps, pull-tabs, and repetitive language collide here, coaxing readers into connecting with each color. Whether they're rubbing the fuzzy, orange tiger or sticking their tongues out like the green, bumpy frog, kids will find plenty of amusement in the book’s pages. They will also delight in carrying this perfectly sized board book around by its convenient "carry and learn" handle. The call-and-response nature of the text will surely make this a frequent read in budding readers’ regular rotations.

A nifty, hardworking introduction to the world of color
