Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy! Kids can learn colors through beautiful art at a museum.

Each color in the book is followed by an amazing, unique work of art. The colors are brilliant -- I found myself going back several times to keep looking at a particular piece. This is a fantastic opportunity for children to learn about the diversity of artwork while practicing their colors.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

What a fun way to learn colors! For each color, a work of art in the museum’s collection is featured. For anyone who has access to the Met Museum. a treasure hunt of these objects would be fun. At the end of the book, kids are asked to recall the color of each art work. There is also a list of each work that is in the book.
This is an appealing way to learn both colors and a bit about art. I liked it very much.
Many thanks to NetGalley and DK Children for this title. All opinions are my own.
