review 1: Imaginative, playful, and funny, Pomelo Explores Color is all about discovery and the experience of seeing color anew In this humorous and emotionally astute exploration of color, Pomelo looks about and discovers twelve colors in all their nuance. He encounters the infinite white of falling snow, the hypnotizing red of love, and the shadowy blue of the unknown. The colors describe our concrete world, but also reflect emotional states, as well as the curious, oddball sensibility of our dear Pomelo. Ramona Badescuwas born in 1980 in southern Romania. She arrived in France at the age of eleven and started to write for children ten years later. She lives in the wonderfully diverse French city of Marseille. Benjamin Chaudlives and works in Paris, France. He has illustrated an i... morempressive number of picture books and has written at least one as well.Subjects Color -- Juvenile fiction Elephants -- Juvenile fiction
review 2: A chunky, board book-esque picture book, Pomelo Explores Color is not your average book teaching young readers about colors. Pomelo is a small “garden elephant” who revels in twelve colors using an impressive vocabulary and fresh, new descriptions for color. The book is quirky and imaginative and will appeal to a wide age range of readers who can appreciate it on a variety of levels. The book glides from color to color without separation, which may be confusing for young readers, but the book is full of funny and whimsical pictures and characters. Readers will delight along with Pomelo at “the starry-eyed pink of romance” and “the foamy white of hot milk”. (Puget Sound Council Review) less

The book is too long to share and the words are too advanced for self reading.

A very different, almost poetic look at colors ...
