Teaching children their colors and teaching the concept of color are not the same lesson. The second part involves a growing appreciation of how colors can effect every aspect of the world: moods, clothes, food, and flowers. A child can be taught to watch for color and use it to define the beauty of the world. This book is a 24-hour trip through the rainbow that makes a day; from the gray of dawn to the yellow of high noon to the indigo shades of dusk. This brilliant teaching tool also uses vibrant words that conjure up rich colors for young minds.
