Book summary from Barrington Stoke

has started with a splash of yellow and each new day brings a new colour
into Emmy and Jeff’s lives. Join them as they explore all the colours
in the rainbow!
Nayu's thoughts
This book
is literally bursting with colour, filling Emmy and Jeff's life with
joy and new experiences. I love how there are so many things crammed
into a page filled with 1 colour. It was interesting how Jeff seemed
happier with pink than Emmy, how many creatures and items are
predominantly one colour, how certain colours are associated with
specific things yet in reality can be other colours. It is always good
to have new experiences in life, although Emmy and Jeff learn
everything needs to be in moderation-at one point there are so many colours
it becomes overwhelming for them.
This is a brilliant book for readers
learnig about their world, as I'm sure it will encourage naming
objects for certain colours, and finding new hobbies simply from
seeing Emmy and Jeff trying new activities.While not quite 100% my
preferred illustration style and colours I did enjoy this book and
highly recommend it as a fun read which subtly teaches readers about
the world we live in.
