Description

Colour and animals are used in this book alongside a simple rhyming text and lots of repetition. The question and answer technique takes the reader through a range of animals and colours as a big green frog, a plump purple cat, a cheeky monkey and many more march across the pages. Children soon learn the book by heart and recognise the colours and the animals.

Reviews

Carle's books all have an educational element - they teach about animals, numbers, colours and nature - but a big part of their appeal is that they are not didactic or laboured, but light and entertaining. There's warmth and humour there too - Junior Carle's richly hued, collage-like art and gentle text will be comfortingly familiar to his numerous young devotees - Publishers Weekly Eric Carle ... has an unfailing magic. His gentle, glowing collages are satisfying for parent and child - The Times
