Blue Hat, Green Hat (1984)

Azul, verde, rojo, ay!

The first book I ever read in Spanish (at the age of 26!) It's a pretty simple, humorous little book. Colors and animals being silly. What more could a kid want? ( )

book about colors, and putting on clothing properly ( )

I discovered this book a couple of years ago while working at a bookstore and have been in love with it ever since. It might be because the book tickles my funny bone, or it might be because my mom used to make me laugh by telling me to put socks on my ears and shoes on my hands. Whatever the reason, it continues to be one of my favorites.

This is a delightful book that my husband and I love to read to our baby twins. They are a little too young (13 months) but we talk about it all the time with them. The animal characters are familiar to any reader of Boynton, and I believe that it will be very useful when teaching my children what clothes go where. Enjoy! ( )

I like the humor and the colors in this one - the iterations of the colored clothing is great for learning and pointing out with Dude Little. Oops! ( )
