Parrot Colors: A Child's Introduction to Colors in the Natural World

by David E. McAdams, Professor Bouquet (Illustrator)

Overview

As a grandfather to fifteen, I had read many books about colors to toddlers and young children. I found them uninspired. There is so much artistic form and color in this world with which cartoonish drawings just can not compete. I asked myself, "What in the world has enough primary colors to teach little ones color names?"

Then, I discovered "Histoire Naturelle des Perroquets" by François Levaillant. The images, created under the direction of Bouquet, Professor of Drawing, Prytanée of Paris in the early 1800's, were astounding. I had found the perfect medium for teaching color names to children everywhere.

I painstakingly restored each yellowed image to its original glory. The images were organized, and color names added. The result is the beautiful and informative book, "Parrot Colors."
