A fantastic journey through an amazing world of over 130 colours, including the primary and secondary colours and descriptive colour words, such as canary yellow, russet and mint green. Includes a colour wheel to turn to see which colours go well together and a see-through acetate page to flip to see what happens when you mix colours. Pages dedicated to each colour are filled with pictures of coloured things - for instance red fire engines, poppies and robins, and colours such as lobster red, burgundy and maroon, plus anecdotes about the meanings of colours, such as red for warnings. A delightful book to share and talk about with a young child, and to use as inspiration for writing and painting as they grow older.
