From award-winning author David Elliott and Ezra Jack Keats Award-winning illustrator Evan Turk comes a vibrant celebration of color, birds, and birdsong—perfect for fans of Eric Carle or Chris Raschka.\nRed, big / red, small / Red sits on my garden wall. / Blue, low / blue, high / Blue has taken to the sky....\nThis tender and stirring read aloud uses the beauty of birds to invite readers to observe primary and secondary colors. With lyrical rhyme and striking pastel artwork by rising star-illustrator Evan Turk, Color the Sky masterfully captures childlike curiosity, wonder, and joy. Not only does it beckon readers to answer the call of exploring the outdoors, it encourages children to embrace the differences within themselves and the world around them.\nFrom School Library Journal\nToddler-PreS-Reminiscent of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, this book teaches young readers about colors while pairing the lesson with joy and whimsy: "Blue low, blue high. Blue has taken to the sky." Readers follow a young child with enormous eyes and short curls as they discover a world with a rainbow of colorful birds. Concise sentences on each spread are provided in large type for those first learning to read and offer an easily accessible rhyme scheme. This poetic quality of the text engages readers in the beauty of nature and song. The sketch-style artwork in pastels and charcoal shows a world awash in color. The illustrations are detailed, particularly for the birds and trees, but the diffused light also provides a gentle quality to the scenes. VERDICT A recommended purchase for home and public library collections serving the youngest of patrons, and for fans of Eric Carle. Older readers may find instructional use; for example, the book can be used to teach colors to English language learners.-Monisha Blairα(c) Copyright 2011.
