Attractively shaped pages in this easy-to-hold board book introduce the colours of all kinds of fruits including the red strawberries of the title, yellow bananas, green apples and purple grapes. A cut out at the end makes a lovely surprise of all the colours in the book!
Combining graphic pictures with ingeniously simple novelty devices, this book reveals that strawberries are red, oranges are orange, bananas are yellow and so on.
