REVIEW
A delightfully chaotic introduction to colors, Monsters Love Colors provides a short, fun read. With many scribblings reminiscent of preschoolers the monsters declare their love for various colors starting with red, yellow, and blue. Gray monsters gradually decide what colors they want to be and the primary colors mix those colors for them, until the last one. What will he choose when another monster chooses the color he wanted? A creative way to teach children about colors and how mixing the primary colors provides additional colors and how they all combine to create a rainbow. Child tested and librarian approved.
