City Colors 

A yellow car whizzes by tall buildings. It drops off one person and picks up another. Its color lets us know that it’s a taxi. Then a traffic light flashes red. Drivers know that red means stop. Early readers will be taken on a colorful journey through the city in this simple yet captivating text about different colors and what they mean. Each 24-page book features controlled text with age-appropriate vocabulary and simple sentence construction. Stunning photos closely align with descriptive text that will grab kids’ attention. While practicing their reading skills, emergent readers won’t be able to stop turning the pages as they learn about colors.
