Review: Little Concepts: ABC Color Apricot, Burgundy & Chartreuse, 26 brand new colors are out on the loose! by Ingela Peterson Arrhenius


SUMMARY FROM NETGALLEY.COM:
ABC Color combines learning the alphabet with colors for an educational and fun board book for young children. Each page of this beautifully illustrated book features a different letter and little-known color, so children can learn about both topics at one time! Parents will love spending time with their kids as they learn, and kids will learn the fundamentals of letters and colors. Makes a gorgeous keepsake as children grow! 
MY TAKE:
I enjoyed this book a lot. It's not often that I learn something totally new from a children's book, and I learned a few things from this one. I'm familiar with the word "razzmatazz" and the film "Xanadu", but I had no idea that there were colors named "razzmatazz" and "xanadu". The color and word "zomp" was also completely new to me.

I loved the illustration style and the solid colors used in the book. The style and use of color work well with the way the book is written.

My son and I read this book aloud together and it was a very easy task to me. Most of the book is just the letters and the color's names, so I didn't get tired. However, that doesn't mean it was boring. I don't think I could have asked anymore from this book.

MY SON'S REACTION:
He had a lot of fun reading this book. The first page of the story had the more common colors on it and when I pointed to each one, he cheerfully told me what they were. For the other colors in the book, I read the names of the colors, and then asked him what the colors were similar to. He answered every single color I pointed to, without losing any of his enthusiasm.

His attention didn't wander while reading, even though he couldn't read the names of the little-known colors yet, and it actually felt like he was surprised that he reached the end of the book already.

FAVORITE QUOTE/S:
But there are so many more colors in the rainbow! 
RATING:

SOUNDS INTERESTING?
