Colors -- Dazzling in its simplicity, exuberant in its palette, Sara Anderson's landmark board book still bursts with a freshness and energy twenty years after it was first published.

It's unique graduated page design encourages the youngest child to discover the joy of color, to see the pages grow in size as the patterns of color appear. Colors shows a clarity and assurance perhaps reminiscent of the most jubilant of Matisse's cut paper collage. This is a book which is entirely in its element in a museum shop, but is most at home on the floor or a lap, being paged through, over and over, by young toddlers.
