Beautifully illustrated, weird text - By: a reader, 06 Jan 2008 
This book has beautiful pictures & it's very colourful. The book is nice & glossy, so it's easy to clean if it gets a bit dirty. The board is quite robust but not too thick, so it's easy for the baby to turn the pages themselves, as long as you raise it a bit so they can grip it. My 11 month old son loves this book. The only downside of it is that the text reads quite oddly, e.g. 'Yellow is a lemon', rather than 'A lemon is yellow'. It's like Yoda-speak, all backwards!
If you make up your own words it's 5 out of 5 & even though the text doesn't make sense the pictures alone are so attractive that it's worth 4 stars.
Good Introduction to Colours - By: letsgetitright, 09 Nov 2005 
As always books on Elmer the elephant are a delight to read to children. Our 19 month old little body loves the Elmer series & this one is another hit. It is a board book that is a good introduction to colours. The first page lists all the colours & then the rest of the book provides everyday examples where each colour can be found. For example green & blue? Grass & the sky - simple, but effective. Our little boy asks us to read this book often & we feel that this reinforces the colours. He may not be able to directly identify the colours at present but it steals a march for the future, by laying down a good foundation.
