What's Your Favorite Color? by Amber L. Lassiter is a children's book about a little girl who left her watercolors at home on the same day she had to paint a picture using her favorite color. As she borrows paints from her classmates, they all believe that they have found out what her favorite color is; but neither of them was right, as no one in the classroom had any paint of that color. Lastly, the little girl (named Amber) thought she was going to have to finish her masterpiece without her favorite color; then, she tripped knocking two cans of paint, causing them to mix and create a new shade: her favorite.

Like most children's books, this one is charming; the illustrations are pleasing and bright. I find it different from others that I've read because I could sense that it was educational. It has questions and exercises with the corresponding space to write the answers, so it would be ideal to have it in a physical format. Along with that, the feature I liked the most was that the author provided questions but not the answers. Since this is for kids, they seem relatively apparent and intuitive for me, but I still appreciate the presentation.

Another thing I enjoyed was the different interactions Amber had with her classmates. She experiences distinct reactions to each of them assuming they've guessed her favorite color, and they all made me smile.

I believe this book strives to help comprehend body language and unspoken actions, considering it includes several lessons about it; plus, it holds images that help tremendously with that goal. Based on the vocabulary and the purpose, I would say it is written for kids around eight years old.

There was nothing I didn't like about this book. Additionally, it was exceptionally well-edited, so I give it 4 out of 4 stars.

Indeed, most children's books are quite charming. At a very young age, kids start identifying with color and paint, so I think this one is relevant. Good job on the review

Cute story. I remember mixing water colors in every combination I could think of just to see what happened. But I don't have a favorite color, I like too many to decide on one.

I also find it difficult to choose one: decisions, decisions...Thanks for stopping by
