The Lion and the Little Red Bird Book by Elisa Kleven

The Best Story for Learning About Color

This story ranks right up there as one of the best of children's literature.  Beautifully illustrated with mixed-media collages that pair perfectly with the lyrical story that introduces color, descriptive language and the concept of making friends with someone with whom you may not share a common language.  Elisa Kleven's magical stories quickly become favorites at storytime, bedtime, anytime because they are just that - stories.  Stories that have a beginning, middle and end that engage your child in the best way possible.  So, we highly recommend The Lion and the Little Red Bird as one worth adding to your special library.  32 pages, paperback.
