This artful first colors book introduces children to nine basic colors and 20 shades of each. Readers will immerse themselves in the concept that one color name actually refers to a variety of dark, light and in-between tones. Young children will begin by simply naming the colors of the monochromatic images and will soon grow to select their favorite and least-favorite shades. Pantone: Colors is a visually pleasing way to expand the colors conversation and develop a child's sense of visual discrimination.
