What is Ezri Reading? Books about Colors

Ezri is learning her colors. She really likes to say the word “purple.” The double “p” sound is just fun. There are plenty of books about colors, but here are two we’ve enjoyed recently.

Carlo Likes Colors by Jessica Spanyol
Carlo, a young Giraffe, sees different colors in the places he goes. Each two page spread shows Carlo in a picture dominated by a particular color. “Carlo sees blue at the pool.” There is then the opportunity to point at all of the blue items in the picture. “Carlo sees purple in the garden.” It’s time to point at eggplants, plums, and flowers. After Carlo has seen all the colors, he’s shown in a room decorated with childlike artwork in all the colors. The final page informs the reader that Carlo also likes to beep and shows Carlo in a toy car saying “beep beep.” This ending is perfect.

Will you wear a blue hat?
This Rookie book just stays fun as the boy gets dressed for cold weather in primary-colored clothing. I have used it as inspiration to sing the “Will you wear your x-color clothing item?” as Ezri gets dressed in the morning.

Reading with friends is even more fun.
