We checked this one out of the library after buying My Very First Book of Numbers. Unfortunately, it's not quite as good. First of all, although black, white, pink, and brown are represented, the color orange is missing - how can you skip one of the secondary colors?! Secondly, at least in the copy we saw, the fire engine is a muddy color somewhere in between red and brown (and definitely does not match the bright red color square). Finally, it would have been nice if the colors had been arranged in the order of the spectrum rather than randomly. This really had potential, but fell short.

a stunning book about matching colors to different animals - the book is divided in half so you can keep the word "red" at the top, then flip through the book to match everything that is red - Eric Carle is, as usual, wonderful

We liked the book as a teaching tool. We haven't had a chance to work with him on it yet so I can't tell you how he likes it.

I bought this book for my son when he was one. His favorite book from infancy was Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? and so I thought it would be good to get him another book by the same author. I was disappointed when I found it was way too advanced for him and he had no interest in it. However, now that he is older (27 months), this book is his favorite! He is just starting to be able to match the colors with the pictures. We read it every night together and with each night, his memory and comprehension grows. I am so happy with this book and glad I didn't give up on it earlier.

Pictures are nicely illustrated. Simple and clean. The only complain I have is the letters/words are not big/bold enough. My 2 years old daughter has been learning colors for a few months and she looks at the book and points out the colors. She also enjoys to look at the pictures and asks questions. I like that a lot.
