Review

Six little wide-eyed penguins love colors and their mother loves flowers. Each is named for a different color flower and distinguishable from each other only by their different color berets: Tulip (Red), Tiger Lily (Orange), Dandelion (Yellow), Violet (Purple), Bluebell (Blue), and Broccoli (Green). The author adds a note that Broccoli is indeed a flower. As a surprise and gift to their mother they decide to use bold splashes of paint to add color to their drab black and white world. A very simple but brightly colored flower, color and rainbow concept book ideal for Preschool (ages 3 -5) read aloud. Children will be encourage by questions such as "Do you think they made a mess?" and "Would she like her surprise?"

Overall Book Score: very good
