From Booklist:

Ages 3^-5. Primary and secondary colors (except for purple, an obvious omission) are introduced in this peephole book. Two double-page spreads are devoted to each color. For example, one spread shows an array of blue objects opposite a photograph of a child painting with blue paint and wearing blue clothes. Above this image is an eye-shaped hole, through which a glimpse of the next spread is visible. The text reads "I spy with my little eye something blue and bouncy." The next spread shows a pool scene, the words "I spy a blue ball," and a question, "What other blue things can you see?" Clear color photographs featuring a multiracial cast are part of a thoughtful overall design. A good choice for children learning their colors and increasing their vocabularies. Kathy Broderick
