A counting book, an introduction to colours, and a first word book, this is also a feast for the eye. Groups of natural objects are sorted by colour and illustrated in flamboyant style. The red pages bring together tomatoes, maple leaves, cherries and chilies – can the reader find them all, can they count them? Use the sturdy colour-coded tabs and turn to the page of your choice: green is particularly energising, featuring chameleons, avocados, parrots, water lilies and limes; while on the pink page cockatoos and river dolphins share the space. New publisher Wide Eyed Editions continue to refresh the world of information books, approaching projects with style as well as substance. ~ Andrea Reece
