Deathly Colors is a children’s book that brilliantly turns the ordinary into the eerie, introducing young readers to the hidden "deathly" side of colors through clever haikus and dark humor. From foreboding yellows to deep, mysterious blues, each page brings out a unique twist, making colors both captivating and spooky. I found it such a fun and fresh way to look at the colors around us—this book kept me smiling and a little spooked at the same time!

Okay, Deathly Colors is seriously the coolest, creepiest color book you’ll ever read! Imagine Death as your sassy guide, showing off the weird, dark side of colors in these cheeky haikus. Green isn’t just grass; it’s slime and squished bugs! And blue? Try scary ocean depths! Every page flips the way you see colors, making them freaky and hilarious. If you’re ready for a laugh with a spooky twist, this book’s got you covered. Death-approved fun awaits! 🌈👻

This book is an absolute delight! Ever since my kids and I read Dead Squirrels Everywhere we have been keeping an eye out for out next delightfully morbid read and once again Ferrara has delivered! This story was so vibrant and cute and my kids loved it! I cannot wait to add a copy to our home collection.

This was fine, short with fun colors and illustrations, but I think it would have a smoother flow as a board book rather than a digital copy.

Read with my 8 yo daughter and she said it was okay but not her favorite.

HOW FREAKING CUTE!!!! Learning your colors has never been this interesting!

Super fast and easy to read, and the illustrations are absolutely to die for 😏😏. I liked how it seemed to make death a little less scary. My two year old thought death was "so cute."

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!! Honestly, I really wish I would have had this book when I was a little one. I would have adored it back then too!
At first, I though that this book would be too morbid for young readers, but I was wrong. This book is age-appropriate and gives a different tone to a rainbow book that teaches kids their colors. On top of that, the author decided to include MANY colors, not just ROYGBIV. There was also pink, white, black, brown, and rainbow. The illustrations were also beautifully done. Death isn't scary at all, and the illustrations are actually fun. Additionally, the illustrator did an amazing job with including the specific colors on each page without it being overwhelming. Lastly, the writing was really creative. I say this because there was an echo to Victorian times on almost every page, which is so cool and very unique! It's very rare that you see a children's book that touches on the elements that this book was packed with.
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this book.
Bravo!!!

This was so cute! I loved learning what Death liked and disliked and colours to go along with it. I got half way done this and decided i needed to read to my child at the same time. My child says they would give this book an 8/10 and i fully agree with them.
