My First Colors

I absolutely love the DK My First board book collection! This is my 4th book in the set and totally worth it. For starters my 16 month old loves these books and finds so much joy in showing me all the words she knows. I have been able to find some of these books at my local library but not this one so I decided to get it in order to teach her colors. As far as the layout goes, the book includes the colors Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple, Pink, Brown, Black and White, and Rainbow. The first 5 colors have 2 pages full of various items in that color. Followed by a 2 page spread of a photographed scene of something in nature.

What I like:
- Perfect size for packing in a diaper bag to take to church or to a restaurant to keep the little one’s attention.
- I counted and there are roughly 90 words your child can learn from this book and that doesn’t include the words you will use as you talk about the different pictures you see.
- The pictures are beautiful and realistic.

What I don’t like:
- This is not a huge deal but some items are not shown in the color you would expect them to represent. For example, they have a picture of a yellow eraser rather than the typical pink eraser.

Overall, I would highly recommend these books to anyone with a child between the ages of 6 months and 3 years! The price is totally worth it considering the hours of reading time you will get to enjoy!

Please let me know if you found this helpful :)

They have 4 pages dedicated to the first few colors, but not to pink brown black or white... I don't like the inconsistency. I might return this...but it wasn't that expensive so maybe I'll keep it since it's good other than what I just said. But, to the book publisher: it's not that hard to find something pink to fill a page spread! Maybe put a rose there? :) then it would be a 5 star book

My daughter and all my grandchildren have learned their colors by having a My First Colors book read to them from the time of their birth. Every one of them could recognize and say their colors as soon as they could talk -- at 17 months, my oldest granddaughter pointed at the blue jello served to her in a restaurant and said, "boo." And now he she is expecting a daughter who will learn colors the same way. This book is a great, timeless teaching tool that provides an easy bonding time for the child and the person who reads to her. There are a number of pictures depicting each color - we simply ad the name of the color before each picture: red cherries, red car, red flower, etc. So much better than having just one picture of each color! You cannot go wrong with this book.

Love this book. The pictures are newer and the colors wonderful! My 15mo old today just finally said "purple" on the purple page and "pink" on the pink page!

Beautiful, bright colors. Every page has something new. After a couple weeks of having it, our daughter still loves it.

Such a beautiful book, the panoramic pages on the single colors are so esthetically pleasing.

Such a sweet book and my 18 mo old is captivated by the photographs (versus cartoons like most children’s books!)

Love this book. It has beautiful pictures and bright colors. My baby loves flipping its pages. At first, I thought the book was small but it is perfect for little ones.

I have always loved all DK books. I bought them for my kids and now buying for my grandchildren. Beautiful pictures.
