Dear Baby: It's a Colorful World by Carol Casey
This rhyming book is great for learning colors. Each page focuses on a different color and different activities that go with that color - for example, "Lying in a meadow/or floating down a stream,/shady trees above me/are cool and fresh and green." The text is fun, the illustrations are adorable, but my favorite part of this book is a page that says, "Let's take a look at the colors of ME!" This page takes a moment to celebrate that we all have different skin, hair, and eye color, but that is what makes us special. What a great message to share with young children! This book is also wonderful for working on Ready to Read skills Phonological Awareness (Sounds) and Vocabulary (Words).
