This is the second Crayola book that I have read and reviewed. I absolutely love these books because the pictures used are absolutely gorgeous. It's a great way to not only teach colors, but also teach about natural wonders of the world. I'd love to visit any of the landscapes used in this book.

Crayola ® Our Colorful Earth: Celebrating the Natural World by Marie-Therese Miller is a nonfiction picturebook currently scheduled for release on September 7 2021. Readers explore rainbow mountains, pink sand beaches, and more and learn the science behind some of nature's most colorful geographical formations.

Crayola ® Our Colorful Earth is a wonderful pairing of bold photographs and scientific details. Each page offers readers a look at a colorful feature of nature, and the scientific explanation as to why the they are the color they are. I think the pictures used are chosen well, and the interactions suggested by the text (answering simple questions and looking for specific colors) will keep less engaged readers on task. The information is short but interesting, making them engaging and accessible. I like that the book includes a glossary, additional facts, a hand on experiment, and options to explore for further reading. I think this book would be great in home and classroom libraries.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* cute kids book with crayola crayons color names! Would have loved having books like this as a kid for sure!

My youngest son is ten and he absolutely loved this book! The colors were bright, vivid, and engaging.

Crayola Our Colorful Earth is a beautifully written book with equally beautiful pictures. The book compares Crayola Crayon colors to the Earth’s colors. The book also contains interesting facts and activities for Children and families to do together. I think this would be a great book to use in Art Class or Science Class along with the activities that are in the book. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. (This review is also on GoodReads.)

As a teacher, this would be a great book to use in elementary lessons about geography and land forms. Crayola did not disappoint with the beautiful colors and created a well balanced book. I would recommend for elementary classrooms and/or children.

This was a really cool concept. Rather than the usual "red apples", children can learn colors while seeing breathtaking images of the natural world. My 4 year old loved this one.

Crayola, Our Colorful Earth is a rainbow of facts, places, and, of course, color

In some ways, I want to be a kid again. Take, for example. Crayola’s stunningly beautiful book, Crayola, Our Colorful Earth: Celebrating the Natural World by Marie-Therese Miller. This childrens’ book teaches important scientific lessons with such simplicity that its teaching method is hard to overlook.
I remember sitting at my grandma’s maroon-legged French bistro dinette table in Rancho Bernardo, California, during the mid-1960s. Wearing two low ponytails, shorts, and knee socks, I sat with a luxuriously indulgent 120-color box of Crayons, coloring pictures and drinking Fresca while my mom and grandma cooked bacon in my grandma’s hot pink kitchen. That happy, gentle, pre-kindergarten memory is one of my favorites. My big brother was next to me, my mom was close by, and all was right with the world.
As anyone familiar with the rainbow-of-wax company would expect, this book is jam-packed with dazzling color photos that point out a handful of brilliant earth locations and why that earth diversity exists.
This book highlights algae and minerals, tricks of the eye, and unexpected color shifts of locations most of us will never visit. This full-color picture book is a must-have for all homeschool and public libraries, homes, classrooms, and vacationers exploring new areas in their cars.
Who knew a river could be rainbow-colored? I live in California’s Mojave Desert and am familiar with a place called Rainbow Basin, a former dinosaur hotbed that now showcases a geographic masterpiece of mineral rock formations. Now, after reading Crayola, Our Colorful Earth, I know a river exists with similar masterpieces to display. I never heard of the seven-colored earth in Chamarel, Mauritius. I did not know that place existed. But it looks like something I might like to visit one day.
The unusual reminders of earth color bouquets accompany familiar beauty spots available to the general public’s knowledge base, like the orange and yellow electric glow of lava flows as it creates new basalt rock formations.
In this book, the strangely formed rock dragon called Nevada’s Fly Geyser spews its life-giving water through vents on its top. The geyser is my favorite location and factoid in Crayola, Our Colorful Earth.
Color graces opals and sapphires, lavender and sunflowers, as well as the massive Amazonian landscaped sky. And the giant Redwood trees on the northern California coast provide a multi-textured museum of time, growth, and beauty.
The Crayola company and Miller have done a fantastic job with this book that screams out, “READ ME!” Now I want more.

Beautiful pictures and ways to show different areas of the Earth. I enjoyed seeing how the places on earth have such vibrant colors.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this young reader nonfiction book in exchange for honest feedback. This book is about the colors found in nature. Sponsored by crayon and craft company Crayola, this book shows the colorful elements of the natural world; further, it is appropriate for young readers, as the text is concise, brief and age-appropriate for young readers. It does a good job of balancing photos and text. Right off the bat, it is visually appealing (especially the rocks... I am just a sucker for color coordination, but it looks interesting and appealing). Then, the book moves into lesser known colorful elements of nature (at least for me) such as the River of Five Colors in Colombia that holds red, yellow, and pink hues. The pictures are very pretty and interesting, make me wish I could see them IRL! A cool entertaining and educational read.

I manage our family metaphysical store and have two young boys ages 4 and 9. That means they are always loving when we can learn about new rocks and crazy things the Earth produces. I knew I had to grab this book.

We really liked that there was a vocabulary glossary in the back for new terminology. Aside from the beautiful imagery, there were great extras and it really inspired my boys to want to go outside to see what they could find. Wonderful book!! <3

This book would be great for science loving elementary students. The photographs are beautiful and the book is full of short science facts that many students would love, I especially loved the glossary of new scientific vocabulary at the end of the book, the only thing that gave me pause is that while the book is written in short sentences, many of the sentences have large unfamiliar vocabulary that would be difficult for elementary students to decode independently. I would recommend that prior to independent reading, teachers or parents read the book aloud with the child/group of children and front load the difficult vocabulary,

Crayola: Our Colorful Earth by Marie-Therese Miller is a wonderful introduction to all of the diversity in landscape for children. Each page features a stunning image of a different landscape and color(s) associated with brief, introductory information. This will surely inspire children to get outside and desire to see the natural world! I would recommend this for children in kindergarten and first grade.

Thank you Lerner Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing this ARC.

I was a Geology major in college (so was my dad, it runs in the family), so I couldn't resist requesting this book in the hopes I could share it with my 4-year old son. I was geeking out trying to name the stones on the first page.

The kid also loved it! There are so many beautiful places that we were able to imagine traveling to ("Can we go this weekend?!").

I loved the extras- we will definitely make the bubbles, but I also appreciated the color matching activity and ideas of other places to go to learn more. What a perfect book for a family of science nerds, I am totally buying a copy of this.
