IPhone 3G used's review (This is FANTASTIC!) 『Me and my small children love immersing ourselves in the wonderful coloured worlds of Jane Cabrera. We have them all and can hardly wait for the next one.
I would recommend them for all parents of young children.』
(More fun story than color teaching tool) 『"What is Cat's favorite color?" This simple question forms the premise of this simple yet cheerful color identification book. Each two-page spread features another color as the background, and uses examples from the cat's life to illustrate it.
Cabrera's style uses bold brush strokes and thickly applied acrylic paint. Her animals are painted as if done by a child, and there are clever little compositional features that are delightful to discover. On one page, a cow in the background mimics the pose of the cat. In another, fluffy white clouds take the shape of familiar objects to a cat--a fish and a mouse.
One unfortunate byproduct of the graphic style however, is that the colors aren't really mixed too well. The purple comes off a little lilac and the red and orange are indistinguishable from each other. But if you use this book as a fun story to share, and not primarily as a color teaching tool, you should be safe.』
(Unique illustrations make this book attractive to children.) 『Little cat asks you to guess his favorite color. As you turn the page, you will be surprised by the color choices and illustrations on each page. The backround colors are bright and vibrant, and each color is as rich as the last. Also, every color has a new animal associated with it. I use this book with my 7 month old daughter and my 10 year old ESL students.』
(this book is super) 『My daughter loves this book. she is 10 months old and loves the colors and the happy face of the cat. I fully recommend it.』
(cute book to teach toddlers colors) 『A short, boldly illustrated book about a cat's favorite color. Good for toddlers and preschoolers.』 『What is Cat's favorite color? Is it green, like the grass Where he likes to walk, or yellow, like the sand on a sunny beach? Children who are learning new colors can join in Cat's fun as he explores the colors all around him.』

Handsomely reproduced in pastel tones, the organic, curvilinear designs dramatically capture the Art Nouveau style dominant at the turn of the century.

The book on this page, with a photograph pasted up above, is from the Young Readers Library, from 1967, a hardback with shiny covers, 125 pp, no dustjacket. Wonderful two-color and full color illustrations and photos on every page really illustrate what birding is all about! Drawings like this, almost botanical illustrations, are rarely seen in books nowadays, because they are so costly. Vintage and loving it.
Chapters for the young people: biological history, migration, language, relationship to man (which should be updated, of course.) Highly recommended, and now scarce.』
(Peterson Field Guides: Eastern Birds, Large Format Edition) 『Altho listed as used, the book is in perfect condition. Great reference asset for the bird watcher or wood carver.』
(Big Bird Book a Hit) 『Got this book for my Mom. She had the original, but now with the large pictures and print she's able to once again enjoy and utilize this great guide.』
(A Field Guide to the Birds: A Completely New Guide to All the Birds of Eastern and Central North America) 『This is a tried and true reference book author for a newby or pro enthusiast.I have worn out two copies of the Tory Peterson books over my lifetime. Every so often, the colors used in the illustrations are slightly off. But since they are illustrations, not photographs, that is unavoidable. It's a great, great book that every person who loves birds should have in their library.』
(Peterson Field Guides: Eastern Bird, Large Format Edition) 『This easy on the eyes large format edition is a great book for all ages and levels of bird watching. The soft cover makes it light to handle or take with you in the field. The large format makes identifying birds much easier and quicker. Well layed out and practical.』 『From the brilliant blue of an Indigo Bunting to the scarlet red of a Summer Tanager, coloring your own field guide is the most enjoyable way to learn about birds. Each drawing is accompanied by a brief description that educates as it entertains. Place the new color stickers next to the drawings for a visual reference while coloring. Coloring the drawings helps reinforce the color, image, and shape of each bird, improving your memory and perception while offering a pleasant and easy way to learn. Fun for adults as well as children, beginning and experienced naturalists alike.』 『Roger Tory Peterson, one of America's pre-eminent artist-naturalists and arguably the inventor of the field guide, made people love birds like no one since John James Audubon.A Field Guide to the Birds, first published in 1934, remains his most famous and wonderful work. The manual stood instantly apart from the dichotomous keys zoologists used to identify species, since Peterson grouped paintings of related species together and used arrows to, as he explained, "pinpoint the key field marks." This way, watchers could spot birds from a distance and avoid, as he archly put it, "the bird-in-hand characters that the early collectors relied on." Birders could use the guide where they needed it most--outdoors--on living birds flitting quickly by. In addition to detailed illustrations, Peterson offers charming (and useful) descriptions of each avian citizen's appearance, behavior, voice, and range. There is also priceless anecdotal information, based on decades of field experience, as in this description of the common house sparrow (Passer domesticus): "Familiar to everyone. Sooty city birds often bear little resemblance to clean country males with the black throat, white cheeks, chestnut nape." His transliterations of song are just as quietly marvelous. For instance,Pluvialis squatarola, or the black-bellied plover, makes things clear with "a plaintive slurred whistle,tlee-oo-eeeorwhee-er-ee(middle note lower)."
Peterson's original handbook covered birds of Eastern North America, and has since been followed by guides to Western birds, animal tracks, butterflies, and many other natural wonders. He and his team updated "The Birders' Bible" as new species were discovered and classifications modified. Generations of enthusiastic watchers owe Peterson a debt of gratitude for making ornithology accessible. But equally important, he showed scientists that finding beauty in living animals, and not just cataloging the measurements of dead ones, was crucial. Roger Tory Peterson died in 1996. He will be remembered as a passionate naturalist, a keen observer of living things, and a gifted artist and teacher.--Therese Littleton』

Not yet published 『Why are the autumn colors of Kyoto described as the most beautiful in Japan? The delicate, almost translucent autumn hues, which derive from the city's unique plant life and climate, are undoubtedly lovely to behold, but clearly that is not the only reason. The secret of Kyoto's autumn beauty lies in a perfect harmony of the natural and the man-made, the culmination of centuries of history. This book introduces 49 magnificent Kyoto locations-- predominantly temples and shrines--ideal for viewing the season's fiery displays. The scenes are elegantly captured by three photographers who have devoted their lives to conveying the beauty of this remarkable city through the camera lens. In these pages, readers will soon note that far from being consigned to history, Kyotos ancient places of worship are assiduously maintained as centers for present-day religious devotions. The ideal,seamless coexistence of these quintessential Kyoto landmarks and their surroundings is another secret of Kyoto's seasonal beauty, and the key to the city's position as Japan's cultural capital for over 1,200 years. A bilingual map section provides address information and contact details for each location. 』 fetish『 Junior's Colors (Veggietales Series) 』

IPhone 3G used's review (A favorite of ours) 『This is wonderfully written. My 3 yr old son loves saying, "But Bob is very red." (a repeated line in the book) In my particular book, the small board book, the blue color looks more purple than blue, but, other than that, this book is fantastic. It gets read a lot in our house.』
(More Than Just Colors.) 『Little kids love this book that stars Junior Asparagus. Junior opens his color box and with a little help from his friends, shows his favorite colors. This book is more interesting and entertaining than many color books. It also provides some laughs (even for adults) and has a lesson about God. Great book for kids three and younger.』
(Wonderful teaching book) 『My 2 year old LOVES this book. It's right up there with Winnie the Pooh. When she gets whiney, I ask her to go get Junior's colors&she eagerly gets it. She even asks for it while sitting in the car. It's possibly the vibrant colors&the familiarity of "the veggies". She already knows all her colors, but it is a great reinforcement in her learning.』
(Another hit from Big Idea!) 『My son (age 2) loves this book! And it really is helping him learn his colors! We read it over and over... he's constantly bringing me "Crayon Story" for another reading. It has the 3R's of children's books... rhythm, rhyme, and repetition, as well as humor and story. Also, it's gentle reminder that God made the world has gotten us talking about Creation in general.』
(One of my son's favorites!) 『When I ask my 14-month-old to go get a book for Mommy to read, more often than not he comes back with Junior's Colors. I don't know what it is about the book, but when he gets to the last page ("But Bob is very RED") he just giggles! I guess a red tomato with a big grin on his face is kind of funny to a toddler. I definitely recommend all of the VeggieTales books. And, as with all Veggie books, God is subtly present. ("When God made the world, he used all sorts of colors...")』 『
The most colorful Veggie adventure yet!
Do you have a favorite color? Junior Asparagus has several! He's sharing each one with you in this exciting techni-color adventure, Junior's Colors. From the WHITE of a snowball fight to the YELLOW of jiggly Jell-O®, his VeggieTale® world is overflowing with bright colors. . .not to mention a few surprise appearances by Bob the Tomato!
』 『Junior Asparagus's crayon box is open for all to see in this colorful VeggieTales book. Bob the Tomato and the rest of the gang help Junior draw crayon pictures of everything from big white fluffy clouds to the things that are yellow: "Yellow is mellow. / It's great for your Jell-O! / Or maybe the fur on a cat--" The combination of the crisp 3-D artwork and the homespun crayon drawings contrast delightfully in this kid-friendly introduction to colors.--Doug Thomas』
