More than disappointed
2004-07-27
If you find the following passage, 'Red as roses, Red as red, Red as the eyes, In a rabbit's head' lyrical, then buy this book, as that is only the first page. It keeps going without improvement: "White as a fish, When you eat a white fish, On a milk-white dish.' When I attempted to so criticize this sainted late author yesterday, my power suddenly went out from a lightning strike; nonetheless, it bears repeating: one successful children's book is not per se qualification to greatness for any hurriedly slapped-out tripe in the name of cuteness. I had purchased this book by catalog, based solely on the author's name and that my daughter seemed to have enjoyed "Goodnight Moon," hoping, of course, to teach her colors and not actually confuse nor frighten the child. More than disappointed, I am angered that so little care, in general, is taken in producing books for children. My copy is now in the recycle box. I wouldn't want to expose it to a poor child.

With a creative summary of colors at the end, to help youngsters remember what they learned, My World Of Color is an interactive feast for the eyes, and a definite preschool crowd pleaser you don't want to miss.
