Mom's Review
Show Your Colors and Name Your Numbers are two adorable board books. Cute, bright animals show off chocolate brown feather and white teeth, or count paws and tails at a narrator's behest, covering basic colors and counting to ten. The rhythm lends itself to reading aloud with only a word or two that feel off upon first read; reading it once, though, was enough for me to adjust and let the words flow smoothly the second time.
Fans of Brown Bear, Brown Bear will enjoy the variety of animals, the non-rainbow colors, the invitation-response pattern, and the bold illustrations. Especially exciting for little ones is the cardstock pop-up on the final page!
This pair will be fun to share with a special little one time and time again! (And for someone who has Brown Bear memorized, a welcome and worthwhile alternative!)
