Colors for Zena Dial Books,
2013. $16.99 PICTURE BOOK
Content: G.
Zena and her dog wake
up to a world that is black and white, but as they turn the corner in their
neighborhood they find a street full of one color, like red, yellow or
blue. As she walks through the
neighborhood looking for all the colors she realizes that she likes a world
with a lot of different colors and she collects an orange lion, purple dinosaur
and green frog to bring with her on her walk.
In the end they create a multicolored world.
The illustrations are bright and clean which
is appealing, but the overall story seems like a boring version of the book Mouse
Paint. It does draw attention to the
reader to appreciate a world of color. Young readers might find it fun to look at the pictures, but the story is simple enough it should be a board book.
