Colorsss

This book teaches children about colors, how they appear in nature, and why animals exist in such a wide range of colors and patterns. When people imagine a snake, they might picture something brown or green, but did you know that some snakes are blue and even pink? Nature is full of surprises! After admiring snakes in a rainbow of colors, children and adults can explore the bonus pages to learn how snakes defend themselves from predators by using colors, patterns, venoms, and poisons. To reduce environmental impact, Colorsss is printed on FSC-certified paper using vegetable-based inks and features biodegradable lamination.
