"Brown as buñuelos / a crispy crunchy sound / Brown as a guitar / Pluck! Pluck! / Gettin' low down." A jazzy text full of Hispanic imagery and energetic illustrations introduce the Spanish names of basic colors. The premise is slight, but the book works well as a read aloud. A list of vocabulary words and a pronunciation guide are appended.
