Editorial Reviews

07/01/2019

Toddler-PreS–Lionni's adorable mice teach readers about colors while having some summertime fun: relaxing in a sparkling pool (blue), sipping lemonade (yellow), and feasting on pickles (green). Simple text, paired with energetic collage-style illustrations, will speak to young readers. The cheery mice elevate a familiar concept, and little ones are sure to giggle when they reach the page labeled "gray"—a little rodent holding a flag streaks by, squealing, "Me!"
