Lifelike photos of flowers, fruits and vegetables, animals, toys, and children dressed in colorful costumes (a blue mermaid, a silver astronaut) illustrate DK"s vibrant My First Colors Board Book. Red, yellow, green, and blue each get two double-page spreads, the first of which is one large picture--there"s a shiny fire truck and a school of glimmering fish in a cool blue sea--followed by an assortment of labeled objects on the next pages. The range of objects is perfectly suited to a child who"s just beginning to name things; there"s a blend of easily recognized ducks, balloons, and flowers and more advanced items like tires, tinsel, and clocks. All the colors of the rainbow are represented, and then some. Little ones will be thrilled with the bright colors and thick, easy-to-turn pages, and grownups will be astounded at how quickly toddlers learn new words. (Baby to preschool) --Jennifer Lindsay
