The Colors of Spring

Illustrated by Jessica Gibson
This rhyming Little Golden Book celebrates all the blooming, bright, and beautiful colors of the spring season!

ORANGE is the door
of Grandpa's garden shed.
BROWN is the soil
that fills the flower bed. . . .

Preschoolers will enjoy hearing the rhyming tale of a young boy and his grandfather gardening on a lovely spring day. The beautiful illustrations highlight the different colors to be seen including green weeds, purple flowers, yellow butterflies, and pink lemonade! It's the perfect companion to the Little Golden Books The Colors of Winter, The Colors of Summer, and The Colors of Fall.
