DESCRIPTION

This book is suitable for ages 0–5. It combines simple layers of learning stages.

What colours am I? is a demonstrated literacy tool.

Its simplicity and rhythm are accompanied by the detail, sweetness and fun of each illustration. Children bond deeply with Betty; some children will only read ‘The Betty Book’! :)

Personal testimonials have confirmed a boost in their child’s confidence to learn and to speak words. What colours am I? is designed in a large, clear font and plays with colour, rhyme and repetition for learning. One librarian said:

“An English teaching friend of mine was asked to teach a South American child English – as a favour for a friend. She wasn’t prepared with any children’s books and asked if I could provide her with some. I gave her a pile, and this is the one book which he refused to put down as he loved it so much. Of course, he also learnt his basic colours!”

The back section of the book provides care givers with questions and discussion points – often just the thing a tired adult needs.

These questions help you expand upon the basic story by inviting the child’s participation. This fun approach allows the child to explore the illustrations and absorb new details within the pictures.

What colours am I? has had a strong response from children and parents. We are very appreciative to have received a number of "Just a note to say..." messages!
