Book Description

April 20, 2010
Gisselle's Adventures in Color
Featuring the beautiful and charismatic Bearded Collie Gisselle.

Join Gisselle as she travels to the gold pyramids in Egypt, sets sail upon the ocean blue, explores beneath the deep green sea and visits a pink castle in the clouds. Gisselle is a Bearded Collie with a big imagination. She is a superhero, a mermaid, a cowgirl, a nurse... Wherever her journeys take you, it is sure to be an adventure!

Gisselle's Adventures in Color is an educational picture book that encourages interaction, imagination and conversation - there is so much to discover and discuss. Every time the reader turns a page, a new world of color is uncovered, illustrated by a wonderful full-page photograph. Each photograph encourages the reader to create his/her own tale of Gisselle's adventures. A border design surrounds the verse, depicting everyday items such as food, sporting equipment, modes of travel and more, inspiring games of "search and find" and presenting new opportunities to learn about and identify the many objects embellishing each color.

Find Gisselle! She is also hiding in each of the borders... except for one! At the end of her journey, Gisselle presents an art lesson on how to mix colors using basic art supplies. Gisselle's appeal is ageless. Animal lovers and children of all ages will want to read it again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really really cute & clever book, June 20, 2010
By 
GG1 (La Mesa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gisselle's Adventures in Color (Paperback)
I was at a friend's house today and she was showing off this book. It was so cute I ended up looking at the entire book. I don't have any kids or grandkids so it wasn't for them, just for the pure enjoyment of it. The dog is adorable and the creative use of color is simply joyful. I hope the author will continue down this road...she has quite a skill for creating whimsical, entertaining, and visually appealing learning materials!

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect children's book, June 21, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gisselle's Adventures in Color (Paperback)
A multifacted gem of a book. The educational value is immediately noticed in language and art. A closer look reveals a myriad of learning opportunities in other areas as well. The illustrations surrounding the rhyme on each page lead to the exploration of their significance beyond name and color.

Gisselle is a beautiful, photogenic and alluring guide into a magical world filled with possibilities: travel to faraway places, take a stroll among the flowers on a sunny day, visit a marine paradise and so much more. Gisselle has the kind of expressive face that one falls in love with at first sight; little ones will form an instant bond.

This book will provide hours of activities and enchantment for children and delight parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles with its impeccable photography, catchy rhymes and endless possibilities. Worthy of a Caldecott.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful children's book, June 20, 2010
By 
dla (San Diego CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gisselle's Adventures in Color (Paperback)
The title of this book is a TRUE description. An added title enhancement might be Gisselle's BEAUTIFUL Adventures in Color.
This fabulous book was put together with great photography (might add creative). The cute graphics enhance the idea of color in the little one's minds with items to look for and compare to in everyday life.
What a FUN book. I would recommend it as a gift for any child in the family, any dog lover or anyone who enjoys bright, fun colors with fun whimsical poetry thrown in as an added bonus.
