This book tours each of the primary and secondary colors, giving examples of each and naming them in English and Spanish. Each page includes a rhyme about one of the colors. This book doesn't have a lot of science content, but it could be used in the younger grades to introduce and talk about color. An extension could be to talk about light and how different colors are perceived by the brain. The Spanish brings in a multicultural and linguistic element, which is a plus. ( )

I thought that this book was really great and so very creative. This book was about the different colors and they compared each color to a Mexican tradition or artifact, like sombreros, clothing, and food. But it does not just use things that are Mexican, because the illustrator is from Ecuador, there are also different aspects from there as well.

What I really liked about this book is that the author incorporated the Spanish word for the color as well. So while I was reading about the color and what object has that color, I was also learning the Spanish word for the color as well. I also really liked that the illustrations where very colorful. They immediately grabbed my attention. I also really liked that the text rhymed throughout the book. This definitely made the book enjoyable and kept me engaged throughout. I really liked this book and would recommend it to anyone. ( )

This is an early reader book about colors. It goes through all the colors and also has them in Spanish. Each page has the color description and also the animal or object that it's describing.

This is a great book for little ones because they will also have exposure to Spanish, which is very beneficial for development.

This book goes through some common colors like red, orange, yellow, green, purple, blue, brown, black and white. On each page there is the color and then an association to common items that have that color (ex. "red as chili sauce"). Also included in this book is the Spanish translation for the color as well as words that are apart of the Spanish culture (ex. sarapes). The last page talks about the spicy hot colors and the party that they all have together.
Critique (Genre): Informational- This is a good example of an informational text where children could learn colors in English and their Spanish equivalents. Included in the book is a list of vocabulary words and a Spanish pronunciation list. All of these things combined makes it a great example of an informational text that could really help both English and Spanish speaking children.

The genre of this book is informational. It is an informational book because it helps students learn Spanish by giving examples of colors and things that are certain colors. It seems like it would be helpful for students beginning with basic Spanish. There are no characters in the story, just a lot of different colors. There is also no distinct setting or theme to this story. It seems that its basic purpose is to help students learn how to speak Spanish words. ( )
