Colors Under the Sea

Illus. by Michael Garton. Palm Kids, $7.95 (20p) ISBN 978-1-60727-700-2

Readers get an undersea introduction to colors in this cheery board book, featuring tabs at the top of the spreads that preview the colors ahead (thanks to color-coordinated fish on each tab). Throughout, smiley sea creatures cavort underwater, accompanied by bubbly rhymes (“In our orange submarine/ We dive down with a swish/ All the orange creatures/ Think that we’re an orange fish”). Small sidebars invite readers to find sea creatures in each scene, bringing an element of interactive fun to the book. Simultaneously available: Countdown by the Sea. Ages 3–up. (July)
