There are so many colors! Otto the Cat thinks all he can see is grey, so his friend teaches him about all the things that can be certain colors in our world - grey/black white, yellow, orange, red, pink, blue, green and brown, culminating with an amazing rainbow spread of everything. Every illustration is labeled, sometimes with fun facts or cultural references.
Translated from Dutch, this oversized book has a lot going on. Like the Richard Scarry Busytown books, there are maybe 50+ pictures on each page, often 4 pages per color. My granddaughter was delighted with the illustrations - she literally laid down on the book to see if she was the same size as the tiger (she was bigger) It needed several revisits to finish however, with so much contained on every page, she became quickly overwhelmed. For the adults, there are tons of musical references (Yellow Submarine, Pink Cadillac, Blue Suede Shoes).
