Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-Living things including insects, amphibians, birds, reptiles, fish, and mammals are grouped according to color. Only two words are used to describe each photo such as "yellow fish," "green snake," "blue spider," except for the last page, which depicts an animal with partial coloration such as "duck with a green head" or "owl with yellow eyes." The texts are brief and meant to reinforce color concepts, and the photos are clear close-ups. Because of the books' simplicity, children will feel as if they are really reading, and they'll pause to explore the engaging illustrations.-Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX (c) Copyright 2012.

Review by Horn Book Review

These books all follow the same format, featuring a picture of an animal on one page and the description, e.g., "blue fish," on the facing page, though there is one longer phrase in each book. The color photographs are vibrant, and the format will benefit early readers. Reading list, websites. Ind.
