The story is cute and I like how the illustrations are limited to the colors only mentioned in the storyline. This book can be very thought-provoking to a young child. Could you possibly imagine living in a world where there were only three colors? The illustrations are very eye catching and will leave the child wanting to read more.

This would be a great way to introduce the color wheel in class. You can have the child identify colors and experiment mixing two different colors together to see what they get. ( )

Penguin only sees three colors and is sure there are more, happy when he sees another color, simple enough to use for storytime
White, Blue, Black- then adds orange/red ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061456888, Hardcover)

Edna the penguin only knows the three colors that surround her: white ice, black night, and blue sea. She is convinced there is something more out there. So she sets out on a quest—a quest for color. When she finally finds what she's been looking for, it's everything she hoped for and more. But that doesn't mean she will ever stop looking.
