In this nonfiction collection, fifteen different children's book illustrators explain their favorite color along with an accompanying illustration featuring said color.
It is interesting to read each illustrator's rationale for his or her favorite color, and the variety of artwork and writing styles adds even more character to each section. I could see using this entire book in a lesson (or lessons) on illustrations and illustrators, or showing one spread at a time as background when studying a particular illustrator. It would also work well in an art class -- perhaps with children responding to the book by doing their own spread explaining and demonstrating their favorite colors. So many possibilities!
