¿Cómo aprenden los colores los dinosaurios? (How Do Dinosaurs Learn Their Colors?)

by Jane Yolen, Mark Teague (Illustrator)

Overview

Dinosaur colors start with red:

A red fire truck stuck under the bed,

A purple towel left on the floor,

A green sign taped to the closet door,

The third board book by the bestselling, award-winning duo Jane Yolen and Mark Teague focuses on one of the most fun concepts learned in childhood: colors. Packed with vibrant illustrations of dinosaurs drawing, painting, and playing, this book will captivate and inspire children as they learn their colors.

Editorial Reviews

The dinosaurs in this board book engage in human activities and as they do so the object is named and printed in the color it represents. Gorgosaurus plays with a red fire truck, Tropeognathus throws a blue robe on his chair, while ankylosaurus chases a pink ball down the stairs. Yolen's rhyming text just glides across the tongue as the gigantic beasts have fun and while human readers learn their colors. The book is also available in English. Kids will be pleased to see that the dinosaur names are the same in both languages. It might be a very good choice for kids learning either language if you can get the pair.
