From a dynamic author-illustrator team comes this fresh, fun and rhythmic exploration of colour.
Bold and bright, it’s the perfect book for reading aloud and sharing with young children as they learn to identify the colours of their world.
Red House Blue House Green House Tree House by Jane Godwin and Jane Reiseger might be a mouthful and a half to say, but the book is a guaranteed fantastic read.
Told through the use of clever rhyme, bold colours, quirky illustrations and a hide and seek with the mouse, this book is a crowd pleaser, educator and just plain old fun.
Jane Godwin’s text is simple, clever and elusive. Told through catchy rhyme, readers will race through this book and want to start all over again before the end of the book.
Jane Reiseger’s illustrations are out of the box, and playfully fun. Her childlike style will leave kids believing they too could be like the two Jane’s and create their own masterpiece of fun!
Jane G and Jane R are on to a really winner with this book, and have cemented themselves as a powerful duo with a bright future ahead. I look forward to seeing what comes next!
