A Rainbow of Books

This week I'm sharing picture books with colorful titles.  Each book has a color in the title.

RED, RED, RED by Valeri Gorbachev
As Turtle rushes through town, in a hurry to see something "red, red, red," his neighbors wonder what it could be and hurry after him to find out.

Dog BLUE by Polly Dunbar
Bertie, who loves the color blue and really wants a dog, finally gets his wish even though the dog he meets is white with black spots.

GREEN Beans by Elizabeth Thomas
Strict and proper Gramma, unhappy that her green beans won't grow, leaves for a vacation and has a surprise when she comes back.

The ORANGE Shoes by Trinka Hakes Noble
Delly Porter enjoys the feel of soft dirt beneath her feet as she walks to and from school, but after a classmate makes her feel ashamed of having no shoes she learns that her parents and others, too, see value in things that do not cost money.

The PURPLE Kangaroo by Michael Ian Black
After asking the reader to think of something spectacular, the narrator sets out to prove his ability to read minds by describing a preposterous situation and characters.
