How Flowers Got Their Colors by Scott Sollers

 

How Flowers Got Their ColorsHow Flowers Got Their Colors by Scott Sollers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

There are only three colors....blue for the sky, green for the grass, and yellow for the sun. A shepherd is curious where to find colors for the flowers and other things in his environment. Everything is white except for aforementioned things. The shepherd goes on a quest to find color to bring back to his pasture to liven everything up.

It's not often that find a children's book "boring" but this one just didn't grab me. I like the general premise of the lack of color but the "adventure" part just didn't do it for me. Others may really like this book, and I hope you do! It would be a great way to start a discussion about color and how not everything is as it seems.
