How Was the Color Orange Made?

by Mayra E. Bonilla, Vanessa Martinelli (Illustrator)

Overview

It is an imaginative and artistic way to teach kids how to mix and create new colors. The story starts out with the young red bird, Benny, who wishes to go up to the sun. Of course, his mother warned him that it was dangerous but Benny being the stubborn young bird, disobeys his mother and travels straight towards the sun. There he finds out that his mom was right and due to the heat and the spinning, the color of Bennys feathers changed from red to orange. In fact, as a preschool and kindergarten teacher, I highly recommend to read this book to our kids because it helps the child develop valuable skills such as LANGUAGE through the rhymes; SCIENCE-how to make a secondary color; SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SKILLS- the main character, the bird, experienced some consequences from not listening to his mother and from not respecting the limits that his mother set for him. Everybody would definitely enjoy this story full of adventures.
