This whimsical book introduces young children to colors that are not as common as the ones that come in a standard 8-pack of crayons. The author/illustrator uses fun rhymes and alliteration along with beautiful illustrations to convey the single sentence caption for each color page. 12 colors are represented including: Maroon, Gold, Peach, Turquoise, Indigo, Salmon, Tan, Chartreuse, Coral, Periwinkle, Magenta, and Olive. . . . and for parents trying to wrap up bedtime, the read time is a brisk 3-4 minutes.
