Stockland, Patricia. Blue. Magic Wagon: 2009. ISBN: 9781602702561.
Blue is a non-fiction book based around the color blue. Patricia Stockland uses simple phrases to explain what the color blue is, and objects that are blue. Beach bags, swimsuits, boats, water, and birds are just a few of the items used in the pictures that are blue. The repetitive text makes it easy for young students to catch on to the simple words, and allows them to predict what the next page will say. The illustrations are done with watercolors and mainly blue hues are used making the images really correlate with the information about the color blue. An informational page at the end of the book would be very beneficial for young students because it offers facts about the color wheel and primary colors. Any child just learning his/her colors would enjoy this simplistic, engaging book about the color blue! And the best part is, it belongs to a series of color books in which the student could learn other colors through a different book similar to this one!
