“By making the basic connection between words and images using different hues, Orange Is an Apricot; Green Is a Tree Frog encourages young readers’ interest in language and environment. Yellow resembles a chick, a lemon, a daffodil, and a dahlia. Blue resembles a bluebird, a blue tang, a dragonfly, and an iris. A beginner’s field guide to new words and new worlds, Pascale Estellon’s exquisitely detailed gouache pictures vividly depict the various hues of red, orange, yellow, blue, green, black, and white. Children will broaden their vocabulary and enjoy seeing familiar words by learning new animal, plant, fruit, and vegetable names through their colors.”
