My 12m daughter loves this book and enjoys turning the pages to find the zebra at the end. It is both colourful and tactile and demonstates a beginning and end to a book for very small children.

This book has a cute idea in that the pages make a fun image at the end. However, it only has eight pages and the artwork is not that great. I sell artwork and this did not impress me. In fact, the black cat has a big pink [...]! Gross! That's not a part of our cat's anatomy I want my 17 month old to focus on. There are so many more wonderful books than this one with even better images. A fantastic interactive progression book is Carle's The Grouchy Ladybug. And, by the way, most of my son's books about color DO mention black and white.

Every young child 4month - 2years that came over and saw this book was mesmerized by it. It is simple, but fun and a great book for introducing reading to very young children!

Being an art person, I find that there are tons of books on all the colors of the rainbow. Black and white are just as important to recognize as all of the other colors. It is refreshing to find a book with such a simple concept that is so well thought out - making it all the more impressive! The clever layout of the pages and the wonderful illustrations made this a must have, along with all of this authors other books, in our library and at our playgroup!
