Colors

With 30 flaps and tabs and more than 80 hidden objects, Colors by Robert Crowther also presents colors to young children. Each spread is a solid hue, but when youngsters pull the tabs and lift the flaps, the name of the color shows through on the left and, on the right, color-coordinated objects stand out in their die-cut frames. For example, on the blue spread, a sapphire, a swimming pool and a peacock appear, each clearly labeled. ( June)
