I loved the bright photographs - the book lived up to its name. It was also culturally educational. Overall, I loved “Crayola Color in Culture."

The world is full of colors. Color is part of culture. This was a nonfiction book that discussed the use of colour in different cultures. It used kid-friendly language to discuss concepts that are sometimes difficult for students to understand – Culture is the art we make, the clothes we wear, and the way we live in the world. This book would be excellent to use in Social Studies as a starting point for a unit on culture. I liked the gorgeous photos and the crayon captions used in the book. These would be great discussion items. I also liked that this book included nonfiction text features (table of contents, glossary, index) that you do not often see in books geared towards a younger audience. The only thing I wish is that there were more detailed captions to describe the photos or a guide/explanation at the end to help discuss the photos. I think this book would be perfect for preschool-Grade 1.

My grandson and I read this together discussing the colours, the celebrations, the clothes etc. He actually enjoyed the illustrations and talking about the colours. He is only four, but the book's bright illustrations and simple text held his attention. He actually wanted to paint after reading this, not sure if it was because of the book that this was his desire, but it seemed so. A very simple book to highlight many colours in the world in a different way.
