Red (Colors)

This series of color books have been a huge hit with my Kindergarteners this year! They love the stunning full color photographs, showing common things that are red, such as apples, red licorice, and stop signs. Our first reading they like to name the objects as I pause at the end of each page, then we revisit it for the rhyming text and another time for the informational side text, which is great for vocabulary building. I bought the whole collection of these color books and thoroughly enjoyed each one during my "Color Days" activities in September. Each book also has a Table of Contents, Words to Know, Read More, Internet Sites, and Index, which I can refer to for lessons later in the year. The back pages of these color books contain information about the color wheel, with fun suggestions and illustrations for primary color mixing with paint, frosting, etc. to form the secondary colors. I am so glad I was introduced to this series from a colleague! If you teach K-2 you will love this series too!

Excellent book for presenting not just objects with color but the feelings colors give us.
