BORTH, Teddy

Each book opens with a somewhat off-topic single-spread introduction to a specific color, with emphasis on mixing primary and secondary colors, and then enumerates animals of that color "on land," "in air," and "in water." Superficial facts about each animal accompany a large, bright photo on each spread, giving new readers plenty of resting points. Random additional facts are appended. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Animal Colors titles: Blue Animals, Green Animals, Orange Animals, Red Animals, White Animals, and Yellow Animals.

Each book contains a brief, overly generalized text that introduces readers to a random selection of vague facts (e.g., in Football: "The largest stadiums in the United States are for college teams"). The clean book design and large color photographs are attractive, but readers looking for an interesting, coherent collection of "great moments, records, and facts" will need to look elsewhere. There are three other spring 2015 books in this series. Glos., ind. Review covers these Great Sports titles: Football, Gymnastics, and Hockey.
