Cat Likes Red by Christopher Russo - OPTIONAL

Cat Likes Red by Christopher Russo.
EARLY READER Holiday House, 2021. $16. 9780823445875 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

The cat goes outside and sees a ladybug - so everything outside has a red hue, until it sees a yellow bee - then everything is yellow; but it isn't the same scene, where red includes a rooster and a barn and apples, yellow features pumpkins, chicks, corn stalks and a scarecrow. Following a green lizard, the cat discovers all the green at the pond, the blue by the sea shore, and a pink butterfly leads the cat to cotton candy and roses. Several other colors represent all the things the cat can see. 

That first colored page was a bit of shock, but once we figured out what was happening, it was fun to find all the things that were the color in each picture. Part of the "I Like to Read" series, this is a level C, designed for the middle kindergarten reader.
