Thinking about Colours

My initial reaction of irritation, of feeling I was being spoonfed stereotype images of colour, was transformed by the realisation that Jessica Jenkins is actually throwing down a gauntlet. Very soon this book makes you itch to explore colours further. It challenges you to find more personal and better ways to describe colours-and it wasn't just me who reacted like this; the children wanted to argue with the text, and then each other, as they ended up mixing colours to prove their point!
