Full Color

(4) K-3 Seven of Delessert's recognizable round-featured creatures represent the colors of the rainbow. Each appears in a double-page spread comparing the color to an object. Most work well ("green like grass") but some ("indigo like dye") are a stretch, and explanations of black and white ("a black surface absorbs all colors") aren't entirely clear. Some color-mixing theory is also demonstrated.
