Each two page spread in this board book contains one black and white bird.  The shape and size of the bird and the background colors make this a winner without even viewing the minimal text.  Each bird’s flap exposes one word, the color visible when the flap is lifted.   Simple concept married to excellent illustration makes this a stand out board book for very young readers.

Add this treasure to the concept area of public libraries or shelve with board books.  Birds of a Color is perfect for the pre-reader and would be well received in day care centers and nursery schools.  Give at baby showers or as a first birthday gift.  The intended audience are toddlers and grandparents who love to read to little ones.

Consider for Cream.
