This was one of my favorite books that I read by Eric Carle. This book was the most interactive and is so fun for kids to see the different animals and different colors. This book is definitely used for helping children learn their colors, their animals, the color wheel, and what complimentary colors are. The book says the compliment of each animal, the green fox is actually a red fox if you look at it long enough! (

Eric Carle did an amazing job with this easy reader picture book. He created a fun reading experience for his young readers with a fun story and his wonderful use of colors. I read this book to my 7-year-old son and he was amazed at how the human eye allowed us to see the animals' colors change before our eyes by focusing on one tiny dot. Little Frog and his friends brought the story to life and made this reading experience a fun one. (

Book description

LIB 428/Lawson desc - I believe that any book that ellicits questions of the reader is a wonderful thing - add the imaginitive color and you have a wonderful combination in this Carle offering. In this book all the animals are colors other than what we have come to know them, and further, can turn a different color through the 'trickery' of the eye and light while staring at the colorful images of the animals throughout the book. What is extraordinary, beyond the fun that will insue with the questioning of the interesting colors of the animals is how this actually works with the eye and could lead to a great scientific discussion in the classroom.
