Probably more effective as a book exploring the customs of Cinco de Mayo than a book of color concepts. The photographs are beautiful, but I felt this book was a commercial for Crayola crayons. Don’t get me wrong! I love Crayola crayons, but I don’t need to read a commercial about them. The writing is too simplistic and not relatable, e.g. “YELLOW and BLUE dresses swing as dancers move to the music. You can move to the music, too!” I wonder who the first kid will be to color in the book even though they are invited to copy the pages and color. Part of series “Crayola ® Holiday Colors”: Christmas Colors, Hanukkah Colors, and Holi Colors.
