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 like this book because it would be a great book to start with because it gives the basic stages of how a caterpillar changes, and could be used as a good first day of a lesson on this idea. This book would be good to use as an anticipatory set to life stages of the caterpillar, and then move on to diving deeper into each stage.… (more)
