And to Name But Just a Few: Red, Yellow, Green, Blue by Laurie Rosenwald

This book offers a vibrant and often silly romp through the colors.  Each page shouts with color, large images and huge fonts.  The artistry here is clear, filled with collages, found objects, drawing, paint and much more.  It invites young readers to head out into their worlds and create their own colorful spaces. 

The text here is filled with fonts, different sizes and colors.  It is as much part of the illustrations as the paint, collages and ink.  It dances, sings and laughs along with the colors and the readers. 

I can see this being very successful in art classes talking about colors.  The audience here is not really preschoolers.  I would use it with slightly older children, say ages 5-8.  They will enjoy the play of the words and the art and will find inspiration here.
