This delightful board book from popular author-illustrator Alison Lester is perfect for little children discovering the world around them. Have fun learning new words and colours together.

Red as a rocket,
or an apple in my pocket.
Pink as a jelly,
or a jar of strawberry jam.
Orange as an orange,
or juice in a jug.
Green as a bean,
a grasshopper, or bug.
Yellow as the sun that shines all day.
Blue as my favourite shoes I wear to play.
