Amazon.com Review
Robert Crowther, acknowledged master of paper engineering, takes on a new challenge--and passes with flying colors. In this clever book, very young readers are invited to contemplate color. Each two-page spread is a solid expanse of red, yellow, pink, etc. But look closely, and discover tabs and flaps that, when opened, reveal an array of similarly colored critters and objects. Pull one yellow tab and a big bold sign appears, announcing "yellow." Pull another tab, and six windows are suddenly filled with the sun, a lemon, a sandcastle, an egg yolk, a daffodil, a banana--there's even a canary perched on the tab. But wait, there's more! Two additional flaps can be lifted to uncover chicks and a stick of butter. Red, green, pink, blue, orange, white, and black are similarly explored, with little windows that can also help young readers learn about shapes. Find 80 hidden pictures with 30 flaps and tabs in this interactive celebration of color.
For more fun from this ingenious pop-up creator, try Robert Crowther's Most Amazing Hide-and-Seek 1 2 3 Numbers Book, Robert Crowther's Most Amazing Hide-and-Seek Alphabet Book, and many more. (Ages 2 to 4) --Emilie Coulter
From Publishers Weekly
With 30 flaps and tabs and more than 80 hidden objects, Colors by Robert Crowther also presents colors to young children. Each spread is a solid hue, but when youngsters pull the tabs and lift the flaps, the name of the color shows through on the left and, on the right, color-coordinated objects stand out in their die-cut frames. For example, on the blue spread, a sapphire, a swimming pool and a peacock appear, each clearly labeled.
