Colors explode off the page in this energetic, jazzy picture book introducing readers to colors in English and Spanish. In a style brimming with rhythm and syncopation, Shahan introduces nine colors by interweaving images and dance steps.

This book, which Publishers Weekly called “a feast for the eyes and ears,” received a NAPPA Gold Award.

REVIEWS
Literacyhead.com— Jan Burkins
This is a book of lists within a list. Author Sherry Shahan and illustrator Paula Barrágan offer you a smorgasbord of colors in Spanish. Rife with onomatopoeia and rippling with syncopation and rhythm, this book screams to be read aloud over and over again! The whole book is a party, as characters and colors dance their way through the pages. This is a boogie-woogie introduction to Latino culture that everyone will find festive! Use this book to invite bilingual writing and to show students how they can make lists within lists.
