This little girl's crayons sure have minds of their own. Each expresses its style:

"Gold brags, 'Fine,
Dress up time.'
Silver toots, 'Grand,
Marching band.'"

The girl's dresses change to match each scene. The mud-pie dress on the brown page made me laugh, although my little city girl hasn't yet heard of cow-pies - she liked the silver page best with its dog and cat playing flute (our last picture book theme was animals making music).

The art is mostly in crayon and suitably playful for the show more subject. We'll surely revisit this lively book. (ages 2-5) show less

Colors, feelings, images, and words jostle and bounce off one another in this lively picture book, creating as much fun as any box of crayons has ever had.

This book is for first or second graders. I think it promotes independency and imagination. Using the colors to identify different things to the meaning of the world is perfect way to learn life skills.

Excellent counting book for halloween, I like the gentle reminders that all the scariness is just pretend.
