Book Description

April 1, 2010 0 and up
Winner of the Silver Moonbeams Board Book Award 2011
Whimsical designs, adorable bears in candy-colored hues, and visually stimulating black-and-white pages highlight the simple text of Color Bears to bring delight to toddlers and infants. Created with advice from early education experts, this wonderful gift book introduces perception concepts and language with high-concept art in a style well suited to fashion-forward boutiques and buyers.
This fun-loving cardboard book bursting with bears will engage any toddler at first glance. The vibrant art serves as a graphic way to explore color and shape while the high-contrast illustrations are perfect for newborns trying to focus their small eyes. Color Bears also introduces animals to young readers in a variety of captivating landscapes.
Each page intersperses an enchanting bear character with patterned black-and-white illustrations, including a red building bear, a pink cupcake bear, and more! Simple, rhythmic text nourishes beginning readers with descriptive words for color, texture, and shape.
The stylized illustrations of Judy Palaferro have their roots in her teenage admiration for rock and roll album covers and the 1980s New York art scene. During her early New York years, Judy emerged as a fine artist, working in pastel drawing and oil. Palaferro worked as print and web designer and as a book buyer for a children's toy store. Judy has worked for eight years in New York City as a children's graphic artist and textile designer in the fashion industry. Color Bears displays her beautiful sense of bright and pleasing aesthetics and her love for animals, imagination, and children's art.

More About the Author

Welcome to my Author Page!

I am a children's book creator, artist, graphic designer, textile designer, writer and creative thinker. Color Bears is my first children's book. I created this book based on a concept. A book that grows with the child! With Color Bears, the infant can enjoy the black and white contrast art and, as the child grows, learn to read from the simple text while enjoying the color story and bear graphics. Several mothers confirmed their two year old children are learning to read with Color Bears. I am very proud Color Bears is sold at the MOMA designstore as well as other modern museum stores among a select group of books for very young children.

Color Bears was awarded a Silver Moonbeams Book Award 2011.

Horace's Big hat was created to aid the learning to read process. The patterned text is educator approved. Each big hat bespeaks a big scenario for Horace to engage: Baker, Top Hat, Hard Hat, Crown. Children can learn careers, objects and engage in some fantasy. The vocabulary is strengthened by visual association - what the word gnome looks like and the visual of a gnome hat.

Thank you for stopping by.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our 4 month old LOVES this book, October 24, 2011
This review is from: Color Bears (Board book)
Length:: 2:09 Mins

Our 4 month old loves this book. She quiets down right away whenever we read it and she loves to grab at the pages, trying to turn them.

I hope to find more books that she loves as much as this one.

Color Bears rocks!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 10 month old's favorite book!, June 13, 2011
By 
quetee02 (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Color Bears (Board book)
My daughter was given this book as a present and in the almost two weeks that she's had it, we've read it nearly 100x! She has many other baby books, but she reacted very differently to this book and "talks" to the bears after each page. I can even quote the book when we're away from it and she gets very excited. I would highly recommend this book!
