Vivid: Poems & Notes About Color by Julie Paschkis. PICTURE BOOK/NON-FICTION. Henry Holt (Macmillan), 2018. $18. 9781250122292
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL – ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL – AVERAGE
Colorful, imaginative illustrations and poems about color. Each basic color has its own page spread. The historical notes and scientific facts about color can be understood by children, yet may be new to adults.
This would be a fun book to read to or with a child. The poems are descriptive, humorous, and not very long. The comments spark interest. “Feeling BLUE, tickled PINK, telling a WHITE lie…Why are you GREEN with envy instead of ORANGE with envy?” Informative and enjoyable.
