This book is okay for everyday objects, dress, ball, tricycle, but not for learning colors. The name of the objects as well as the color are listed instead of focusing on the name of the color being addressed. Also some of the colors were not very well defined, for example, pink was so dark it looked almost red and the red shoes looked pink, the shade of gray used was too dark, nearly black, and too many of the objects had more than one color (ball was blue and white, coat was black and white) instead of being a solid color to go with the color that page was focusing on.

This book is sturdy, durable, visually interesting, well-designed and a great place to launch an infant's interest in books, photos and naming the real-life images he/she sees every day. Bright Baby Colors is part of a wonderful series of board books which includes Bright Baby Animals and Bright Baby First Words (both of which I also highly recommend). Rather than confusing an infant's eyes with an array of images all at once, the nice thing about these books is that they are laid out very simplistically with one photograph and word per page on a solid-colored background. No clutter and no distractions. For the infant who is just starting to point at everything in the world and seek "identification tags", this entire series is the perfect first set of books.

Ever since he was an infant, my son has kept coming back to these books. I think it is because they can be easily adapted to teach a variety of concepts and they evolve to meet his constantly changing points of interest. I agree with the previous reviewer that a few of the color choices are not as well depicted as they could be. (E.g., gray is depicted as so dark that it is almost black, and pink is shown in such a dark shade that it is almost red.) However, this is a minor point, and I still give this book five stars for the simple visual images it provides, the focused learning it encourages, and the variety of ways in which it can be used to teach not just colors, but also other words and concepts. With its great photography of everyday, real-life, 'round-the-house images set against simple, solid backgrounds, this book is definitely a solid choice with which to start your child's home library!

This is an interesting and colorful book with excellent photos. Each two page spread has five items of the color and a cut out circle showing part of an item with a question. For example, the red page shows cherries, dress, car, fish, drum, and the question by the cutout is "This helps to put out fires. What is it?" Lifting the flap shows a fire truck. The photos are excellent and the book design adds interest. The 2005 edition is an improved redesign of an earlier edition. Karen Woodworth Roman

We have this book for our baby and now give it as a gift to anyone we know having a baby. It is a great book to introduce colors and everyday things such as a spoon, dress, cat, etc. Since it's a board book, we let our daughter play with it so she can practice turning pages and for the price, we don't mind her chewing on it. This book is one of 4 in a series and we highly recommend them for any parent and baby.

This is a good book to read with baby! One page has the color and the opposite page has an item that color, so its good for building vocabulary.

I believe this book was very inexpensive. It helps to teach the basic colors, plus gold, silver, grey, etc. A good book overall.

Bright Baby Colors is a great picture book. My littles ones love it. We practice the words every night, and now they recognize the pictures and are telling us what they are instead of us having to ask them.

I bought this book to teach my 22 month old his colors. When I first saw teh pages, didn't think it was going to work very well but he really picked up on the colors and loves this book. I also like how it includes some of the lesser known colors such as gold, silver and gray.

My son (15 months)has many children's books and this is by far his favorite. The bright pink color stands out on the bookshelf. He loves to walk around the house with it and point to the items in the book and say "this." He is learning so much from the book. I am a big fan of these books and recently purchased more. This book is a great way to help my child's vocabulary grow!

I agree with other reviewers that the color purity is not there for a couple of items, but overall it seems to captivate my little one and that's why I picked it. I am a big fan of the bright baby books.
