My New Friends by Jeffrey Turner, is a cute book for toddlers and preschoolers. The brightly colored illustrations will keep little kids attention, along with the rhyming, whimsical writing.

Parents shouldn’t be surprised if their little ones start repeating “Red bear braids hair. Oh, what flair.”
This is a primary book that makes learning basic colors fun. Whether it’s an orange cat knitting a hat or a yellow snake mistakenly eating cake. The hilarious images will help kids memorize the names of the various colors.
It is not only about colors, but also about making friends. Frogs can hug dogs sitting on a pig’s back. Everyone can get along, even if they are different. The book also reminds readers that everyone can be a friend, and that having one will not be enough.

Jeffery Turner has written a children’s book that is fun and educational. At the end, there is a primary color chart that shows kids how to create secondary colors. They learn that yellow and blue make green, and what happens when other colors are mixed together.

My New Friends is one of the few children’s books that has more than one educational message. Kids can learn their colors and the importance of having friends.

A book for introducing the concept of animals and colours to your toddlers, My New Friends is vibrant and does not disappoint. The colours are associated with an animal and on the next page you find a cute little rhyme about the animal. Suited for young children who will be awed by the colours and images. Easy rhymes to keep them entertained too!

Red bear loves his friends and I love this book!

An animal is paired with a color and its name. Turn the page and a cute rhyme about the animal follows. An example is: “Blue snail; Blue snail delivers the mail. He leaves a trail.”

Many giggles are such to be elicited.

This book has vibrant colors and lots of fun rhyming words! I would definitely use this for one of my preschool or baby storytimes since we like to learn about colors and animals.

I read this book with my two year old daughter and she loved it!
It is laid out in an easy to follow style, she loves learning new words and repeating them too so this one was a massive hit with her two. I thought that the images were great too. It is 4 stars from us for this one!

Cute colorful books about colors. The rhyming was simple and the illustrations were bold and cute. Really simple book to learn primary and secondary colors.
