The Smiley Book of Colors by Ruth Kaiser - ADVISABLE


Kaiser, Ruth.  The Smiley Book of Colors.  Golden Book, 2012.  $8.99.  PICTURE BOOK  Content: G.  This book has 2-3 pictures for each of the colors of the rainbow, grey, black and white.  There is rhyming text throughout.  The text talks about being happy and smiling and it becomes contagious.   It also says to look for happiness everywhere because it will give you a good feeling.  The bright pictures with the happy text make this a fun book, but most fun of all is finding the smiley faces in each of the photographs.  This is a great book for younger readers.  It would also be fun to use in an art class, to spur ideas for photography.  EL (K-3), EL (4-6), MS-ADVISABLE.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
