What is Red?

Little Jonny ponders the meaning of colours as he explores the landscape.

He dips his toes in a blue brook, picks purple flowers, digs brown earth and finds an enormous orange pumpkin.

Finally yellow sunlight and the black night show him when it is time to get up and when it is time to go to sleep. The vibrant primary colours of Vladimir Bobri's illustrations, together with a simple narrative, which follows the natural rhythm of the seasons, make this a stunning and enduring colours book for young children.
