Neat

A monkey finds a box and looks inside it. Inside the box, he sees a small hole, and crawls inside it. There, he finds a room where everything is the same color, except for a small spot with a new color. The monkey crawls repeatedly from spot to world, from world to spot, changing the colors of his surroundings as he goes. The story is fun, rhyming, and not scary. It's a great way to practice colors. The book has about 100 words.

A Wonderful Reading Experience !

This book totally excited my 5 year old grandson. He could not get enough of me reading it to him. The illustrations are colorful and the peepholes leave just enough suspense for the child to anticipate what color and text may come next. A wonderful reading experience for both grandson and grandpa.

The Color Box

As a Kindergarten teacher, I read The Color Box with my students every fall. The children love the rhythym and rhyme within the text. The illustrations are appealing to all 4-6 year-olds. You will find older children reading along with you. The "peekholes" grab the children's attention and keep them hooked. This story is a wonderful read-aloud and belongs in every early childhood classroom.
