Not my favorite, but my kids love it, August 2, 2009
This review is from: Colors (Little Scholastic) (Board book)
This book has some very good features to it. The best feature is that the pieces of texture are larger than many of the touch and feel books, so little ones can really feel the texture. The second thing I like about it are the pictures, while very simple, are also eye-catching to babies and toddlers. This was my (now toddler) then baby's favorite book for awhile. She could look at the book for a long time, and that was without touching it, add the touch and feel element to it gave her even more amusement. My (now) baby also loves it, just like her sister did. The textures are very appealing, a soft fuzzy duck, a bumpy frog, a shimmery fish (which is also rough to the touch), and an extremely soft, fluffy bird. The sparkly butterfly is similar to in touch to the rest of the page, although slightly smoother, it is sparkly. Also, it is very sturdy, which is a huge plus for baby books.
Yet, I did have some problems with the book, even though my children love it. As one of the negative reviewers wrote, the yellow lion is more orange than yellow. It is clearly yellow on the front page, but on the inside, it is on a bight yellow background and the lion itself is more dark yellow or orange. But to be honest, I didn't even notice that until I read that review and only mention it because I see that maybe some people would be displeased by it, although it doesn't really bother me. My biggest problem was that the next page includes a green bear. Now, I am not too sure why this bothers me, but it does. It seems that the book is trying to keep the colors of the animals realistic - meaning that they try to match it to the closest basic color (yellow lion and duck, green frog, blue elephant and fish, a red bird). So why did they do a green bear? I just find it odd. I also found the red cat (I would considered this to be red, although I could see why someone else may see it to be pink) to be slightly odd, although this didn't bother me as much as the green bear.
These are only minor flaws, and since my children love it, I say it was definitely worth buying, and I would recommend it, not so much to teach color, but more so for the touch and feel aspect of it.

Perfect for little learners, September 14, 2007
This review is from: Colors (Little Scholastic) (Board book)
My daughter is 1 and she loves these simple yet colorful books. The tactile additions really make a difference in keeping her excited about the books. We're trying to teach her colors and shapes right now so its perfect.
