Winner of the NAPPA Children's Resources Gold AwardColors explode off the page in this energetic, jazzy picture book introducing readers to colors in both English and Spanish. In a style brimming with rhythm and syncopation, author Sherry Shahan introduces nine colors by interweaving images and dance steps. Ecuadoran artist Paula Barragán's illustrations capture the rhythm and vivacity of the text. This book, which Publishers Weekly called "a feast for the eyes and ears," received a NAPPA Gold Award and was featured on the PBS Kids program "Between the Lions". Similar to ãFiesta! and Cool Cats Counting, Shahan and Barragán spice up a vital learning foundation. This bold read is a great way to incorporate colors and the Spanish language into lesson plans and general reading routines. August House Publishers offer free lesson plans for Spicy Hot Colors.
