Although blue, and green, and all the other colors are good, this boy has a special favorite: yellow. After making this announcement, the text begins a series of back-and-forths, with the boy asking the reader his or her favorite color, then again claiming that, as for him, he thinks yellow is the best.
This is a nice story for young readers, especially because of the interactive element, but it does not particularly stand out in a world of books about colors. Also, while the interactivity is fun for children at the outset, asking them to pick out their favorite color multiple times begins to feel repetitive and uncreative; it would have been nice for the text to go beyond the simple, "I like yellow. What's your favorite color?" repetition.
