Crayola ® Our Colorful Earth

Crayola: Our Colorful Earth by Marie-Therese Miller is a wonderful introduction to all of the diversity in landscape for children. Each page features a stunning image of a different landscape and color(s) associated with brief, introductory information. This will surely inspire children to get outside and desire to see the natural world! I would recommend this for children in kindergarten and first grade. 

Thank you Lerner Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing this ARC.

I was a Geology major in college (so was my dad, it runs in the family), so I couldn't resist requesting this book in the hopes I could share it with my 4-year old son. I was geeking out trying to name the stones on the first page.

The kid also loved it! There are so many beautiful places that we were able to imagine traveling to ("Can we go this weekend?!").

I loved the extras- we will definitely make the bubbles, but I also appreciated the color matching activity and ideas of other places to go to learn more. What a perfect book for a family of science nerds, I am totally buying a copy of this.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this young reader nonfiction book in exchange for honest feedback. This book is about the colors found in nature. Sponsored by crayon and craft company Crayola, this book shows the colorful elements of the natural world; further, it is appropriate for young readers, as the text is concise, brief and age-appropriate for young readers. It does a good job of balancing photos and text. Right off the bat, it is visually appealing (especially the rocks... I am just a sucker for color coordination, but it looks interesting and appealing). Then, the book moves into lesser known colorful elements of nature (at least for me) such as the River of Five Colors in Colombia that holds red, yellow, and pink hues. The pictures are very pretty and interesting, make me wish I could see them IRL! A cool entertaining and educational read.

I manage our family metaphysical store and have two young boys ages 4 and 9. That means they are always loving when we can learn about new rocks and crazy things the Earth produces. I knew I had to grab this book. 

We really liked that there was a vocabulary glossary in the back for new terminology. Aside from the beautiful imagery, there were great extras and it really inspired my boys to want to go outside to see what they could find. Wonderful book!! <3
