Book Overview

Are bananas yellow . . . or is yellow a banana? Learn all about yellow--and other colorful things--in this rollicking picture book from John Himmelman, author of the Bunjitsu Bunny series

​Approaching the concept of color, and the creative ways in which young children assign names to things in the world around them, with a fun, playful tone, this picture book is perfect for group or individual read-aloud story times.

That yellow is a banana. No, a banana is yellow. These purples are grapes. No, these grapes are purple! This orange is a pumpkin. No, that pumpkin is orange! And this orange is . . . orange?

With two charming siblings and a fresh, limited palette that allows each featured color to really shine, young readers will learn as they laugh in this side-splittingly funny, unique picture book.

About John Himmelman

John Himmelman is a naturalist, a martial arts instructor, and the award-winning author-illustrator of nearly 90 books for young readers, including the Bunjitsu Bunny series praised by School Library Journal as "Delightful . . . reminiscent of Arnold Lobel's 'Frog and Toad' stories or Jon Muth's ever-popular Zen Shorts."

Himmelman lives in Killingworth, Connecticut, with his wife, Betsy, and their menagerie of dogs, cats, and chickens.
