independent reading 7+

This colorful concept book has a Chinese theme. Children will learn about chopsticks, firecrackers and dumplings. ( )

All the colors of the rainbow and more are on display as a child goes about their day to day activities. Red is a dragon in a parade for Chinese new year; green are bottle gourds; orange are crabs on the beach. Delightful compositions make up the bright illustrations, which clearly illustrate the prose. I felt lively and cheerful reading this book. ( )

A really cute way to teach younger children colors and introduce them to Chinese culture through wonderful illustrations. ( )

I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it for younger audiences. The theme of color and the rhyming prose style of writing is appealing to those of younger ages. I like how the author chose to incorporate an Asian culture by using examples of colors in universal objects, as well as, Asian specific objects. The story is beautifully illustrated with vivid colors that take up the entire pages!
