Pantone: Colors: A Board Book

Love the simplicity of this book. Each page with is varying hues of the color are well done and beautiful. The last page is my granddaughter’s favorite with all the colors as objects.

If you know a child who is obsessed with colors, this is a great book for them. I bought this for a friend’s son and he loves it. The quality of the book is great and it shows colors beyond the basics.

This is a simple concept executed well. Not especially fun to read all the way through since it's just color names over and over, but my toddlers like looking at it on their own, and it's great for a toddler who's beyond the five-page color board books but still learning about the nuance of color. I'm a graphic designer and I approve. The pages are durable and a nice large size. The cover looks great at first but is less durable; our copy has a tear along the binding after week of enthusiastic but not overly rough use, and all corners are dented. Finally, this is not an issue with the book and I should have learned my lesson by now, but this arrived from Amazon loose and unprotected in a box of other items, with several deep scratches and dark scuff marks on the cover. I was able to remove the marks well enough with a Magic Eraser, but I would not have been able to give this as a gift.

An excellent resource for teaching colors, and the concept of shades. As a preschool teacher, I also like that the book itself is large enough to show multiple children. This version even comes with a proper hardback cover and board book pages to help it stay durable! Overall, this is a thoughtfully prepared resource in a durable, high quality package. Nice enough to be a gift, even. Well worth the money.

This is a nice and educational book. This book has many shades of colors and is great for teaching colors to toddlers.

I ordered this book because my 2 year old is really into colors right now, but is having trouble with shades (e.g.: he'll point to a darkish yellow chair and say orange). The book is gorgeously constructed with a hardcover style spine and thick, almost board book pages inside. It's a nice substantial size. The illustrations (yellow lion, orange goldfish, red wagon, pink piggy bank, purple balloons, blue train, green frog, brown teddy bear, white/black/grey panda, and back page with lots of colorful objects) are cute and incorporate several shades. My only quibble is that the grid of 20 shades of each color could show more variety. It's as though they wanted it not to clash. So on the orange page for instance, there are no really bright, obnoxious shades of orange. On the brown page, there are greenish and purplish browns, which is cool, but there are no light brown shades like tan. This is a minor complaint -- the book is awesome and I'll be stocking my gift closet with it to give to every 0-3 year old kid I know. **Update** It took me months to realize the color grid only contains the shades used in the facing page's illustration -- that's why the shades for each color are all in the same palette. Makes perfect sense, but it still would have been nice to have more variety. We still love the book!

A very calming and soothing book. Kids will love it but adults migh5 also find it eases anxiety and stress.

My youngest kid keeps telling me the wrong colors for things so I thought that buying this book for him would help him to understand that different shades of a color are still that color. However, I have been using this more for myself than for him! He is a LITTLE interested in it but he isn't quite grasping the concept of some of the shades. I was a little worried that it was a wasted purchase, but I work with fabrics and different colors for design work and this has come in quite handy! I love being able to identify a color by the actual shade when needed... and since I've been using it my youngest kid has been showing more interest in color. So, for me this was an excellent purchase... and MUCH cheaper than buying sample Pantone items to use for identifying colors for now. VERY good starter book to shades and basic colors for all ages!

Me encantó este libro. La calidad es excelente en todos los sentidos. Mi hijo y yo quedamos más que contentos

As a designer/art director I gravitated to this cute book - because its PANTONE!!! The colours are vibrant and the kids love looking at the pictures.

I love this book! My son has a learning disability and loves colours, I wanted to get him a book that was fairly basic but not babyish, and this book is perfect! It also has thick pages, like a board book but, again, without that babyish feel to it. Each page has a colour and then shows lots of different variations of that colour - I doubt there will be many people looking to buy this book for the same reasons as me (i.e a colour loving 14 year old boy with special needs) but it is still a lovely book for any child. It is sturdy enough to last a long time (hopefully) and is refreshingly different from all the other books about colours that I looked at. :)

If you want to get samples of cheap light colours of PANTONE® quality, then this book is for you.
