This book will be useful for years.My 5 month old loves this book, as did the twin two year olds I used to baby sit. My son kicks and wiggles when I pull this book out, and he puts his hands all over the images. I point to each apple and say apple as I find all of the apples in the image. I think the repetition and the similarity are coming together for him better than in any other book of colors or counting I have found because of their random locations and sizes.The twins got to show off their ability to recognize words they could not yet pronounce by pointing when you asked them "Where is the flamingo?" or "Do you see a flower?"Grouping the images by color makes each page you turn to feel fresh and interesting.
My 20 month old daughter LOVES this book. If you're looking for a standard "read the story" book this isn't it, but it's really so much more. We can use this book one morning to teach colors, and the next night to identify objects. We can count, we can associate...there's just really so much a little one can learn from this book if you're willing to use your imagination. I can see this book being well-loved for the next few years and recommend it to anyone with babies/toddlers/young children.
This book has helped my daughter with her colors tremendously! We go through each page and talk about each object and its color. She now asks for her "blue yogurt" in the morning that's in a blue package. And her "pink blanket" for bed time.
I had purchased this book back when my now seven year old was still a baby. It quickly became one of our favorites. I purchased it again for my one year old and she loves it as well. There are so many different ways to look at this book with your child. We will talk about the colors, count the different objects, do a look and find type game, I will ask her questions or to point out certain things. It’s really a great book for when you don’t actually feel like reading (or reading the same story for the millionth time).
My 3-year-old is color-obsessed and my 21-month-old is shaping up to be the same. This book is beautiful and they love it. It's got everything - counting, beautiful, bright colors, seek and find - all in a sturdy format which could weather several adoring children's worth of wear.
We literally have hundreds of children's books in our house, but this book ranks in the top 10. I love giving it as a baby shower gift. You can read it on so many different levels. Each page represents a different color. On each page is an assortment of items of that color. For example, on the blue page, there are blue robots, blue butterflies, and blueberries (among other blue things). What I love about this book is that it is easy to interact with kids when reading it. You're not reading text-- because there is virtually none-- you're looking at pictures and talking to them about the pictures. So, for example, on the blue page, I might ask my little guy to count the number of motorcycles. Then I might ask him what noise a motorcycle makes. Then I might ask him if he thinks a robot could ride a motorcycle. Or if he wants to ride a motorcycle. (That usually get a big smile.) Or if robots eat blueberries. Or if Daddy likes blueberries. It sounds stupid, I'm sure, but it's nice to feel like you can spend 10 minutes talking about one page-- there's no pressure to "get through" the book-- some nights, we just talk about one or two pages-- and that is my little guy's bedtime story. The pictures are fun to look at. We've used this book with our four-year-old to talk about spelling (for example, he sees all the red stuff on the red page and sees "RED" written, so he is learning to spell colors.) My two-year-old enjoys counting the items-- on each page are one of one item, two of another, three of a third item, etc. It's just a nice, sturdy, colorful book that is beloved by both of my kids-- and we read it a different way every time-- so I'm never bored reading it again, and my kids are happy too. Great book, highly recommend, especially if you are looking to start conversations with your kids and not just read the text on the page. (Although don't get me wrong-- we do plenty of that around our home, too.)
I'm a childcare provider and this is a MUST HAVE staple. This book is great for colors, counting, reading, and increasing vocabulary. I've never had a toddler that didn't love this book. I usually introduce it around 18months to begin colors; however, even my three year olds still love to thumb through and go on a scavenger hunt. This is actually my third one, because after a couple of years of toddlers "love" it needs to be replaced. :)
Very Good book for Infants, they learn lot and its stimulates their brain with different colors.And can be used at different development stages, as same book can be used to increase focus by playing i spy games..
