review 1: 3.5 stars. There were a couple colors I thought could have been better described (purple), but I still like the book and it's format. Each page includes a flower like cloud with the color in English and Spanish. Many of the objects are Hispanic with a universal appeal. Brown is a churro, warm and sweet and homemade chocolate- a special treat. Mmm, my favorites. Any Spanish words used are included in a glossary. The illustrations are painted with a slight folkloric feel and are wonderful.
review 2: The flat, folk-art style paintings (on wood, it looks like) and the rich colors are well-suited to this concept book. Each color is identified in English and Spanish, and the text is peppered with Spanish vocabulary - most can be guessed from context, but ther... moree's also a glossary in the back. The same characters reappear, but there's no real story here. Instead, the star is those charming, vibrant illustrations. The text names a few items in each color, but there are more for the reader to spot and identify. less
