From Amazon.com: There's nothing like the deep, ruby red of strawberries, glistening orange of oranges, dusky blue of blueberries, and sunny yellow of bananas. In this tasty treat, Petr Horacek celebrates the lovely natural hues of six different fruits. Each right-side page, outlined in the shape of a mound of fruit, decreases in width, creating ever-growing layers of fruit on the left side, until the final page, which brings a delicious surprise. Children will delight in identifying their favorite sweet (or tart) foods while learning their colors. Very simple text ("Strawberries are red, Apples are green, Grapes are purple," etc.) allows early "readers" to follow right along as they look at the watercolor-and-crayon illustrations. And why not round out the color spectrum with Horacek's companion volume, What Is Black and White? (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter
Strawberries Are Red: This is a great book for a toddler learning her colors. Our 2 year old loves it, turning the pages quickly and pointing at everything! She eats everything that's illustrated in the book, so she has fun naming the fruits. A great book, and durable, because it's a board book.
Fruity Fun: All of the fruit in this board book are almost good enough to eat. We have used this book extensively in our playgroup to introduce the youngsters to colors and fruits with a lot of excitement and enthusiasm all around. The bright colors also helps to inspire fun. My daughter just loves trying to copy the pictures on her own. Lots of imagination!
