Winner of the NAPPA Children's Resources Gold AwardColors explode off
the page in this energetic, jazzy picture book introducing readers to
colors in both English and Spanish. In a style brimming with rhythm and
syncopation, author Sherry Shahan introduces nine colors by interweaving
images and dance steps. Ecuadoran artist Paula Barragán's illustrations
capture the rhythm and vivacity of the text. This book, which Publishers
Weekly called "a feast for the eyes and ears," received a NAPPA Gold
Award and was featured on the PBS Kids program "Between the Lions".
Similar to ¡Fiesta! and Cool Cats Counting, Shahan and Barragán spice up
a vital learning foundation. This bold read is a great way to
incorporate colors and the Spanish language into lesson plans and
general reading routines. August House Publishers offer free lesson
plans for Spicy Hot Colors.
