Reviews

'"These books offer a unique combination of early literacy tactics to aid children in strengthening reading and comprehension skills. Mixing Colors introduces basic art and color concepts. Each spread contains a bright photograph and a facing illustration that explains the concept. In How Can You Tell, each page contains a bright photograph with a person depicting a basic emotion; accompanying text asks readers suitable follow-up questions concerning the '"what and why'" behind the expressions. Both books include helpful back matter such as '"Fun Facts about Colors and '"Fun Facts about Body Language'" and a list of high-frequency words to offer caregivers and teachers a variety of ways to extend lesson plans and reading opportunities.'"
