Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: BRILLIANT ! Mexico's bright colors increase our Optimism . . . Comment: COLORS bring optimism into our lives. In this book the first drawings introduce BLANCO with white skeletons & masks, etc., that are used to decorate for a favorite celebration, the Day of the Dead. Those pictures should keep the kids turning the pages! Then they'll see & read about verde, azul, cafe, amarillo, negro,ojo, oro, purpura. My winner is NARANJA - - ORANGE, even though it's the hardest for me to pronounce. It is illustrated with a boy surrounded by Monarch butterflies. They migrate to the Sierra Madre in the millions. THINK ABOUT IT ! MILLIONS spend their winters there & then return to the North. Enjoy Janice Lee Porter's COLORS - - her interpretations of this important segment of our sense of SIGHT, and our lives. Look up titles of other books she illustrated & pusue them. She is not stuck in one style by any means & that makes reading & owning any books much more enjoyable. "SERIES" books are not necessarily all 'Blue Ribbons' but everyone can learn to choose what is better & learn what it is that makes books that way! Reviewer mcHAIKU recommends "THE COLORS OF MEXICO" by Lynn A. Olawsky as a good beginner's introduction to a country our children should continue to study. And we can help geographically deficient kids by setting an example of staying on the path to being as *bright* as Mexico's colors. Customer Rating: Summary: My student enjoyed this book. Comment: My students enjoyed this culturally informative book, but all my Spanish speaking students said in one voice, "MORADO" when I read the entry for P?rpura aloud. Other than this we enjoyed this book. More Reviews
