Look around you. Do you see a clear sky? Ripe blueberries? Blue birds or flowers? Your favorite jeans? The color blue is found in nature, in foods, in clothing, and many other places. Read this book and become an expert at spotting blue everywhere! (Grade K-2) [+/-]

Reviews:
Using a lively tone and examples from everyday life, the Lightning Bolt Books Colors series helps K-2 readers recognize colors, identify various shades of colors, and understand how colors or color words are used (e.g., in conveying emotion). Titles also include fun facts or an activity on creating or blending colors.

These bold and busy titles discuss where the colors occur in nature, describe their various shades, and discuss the meaning behind popular sayings or 'fun facts' about them. Well suited to independent reading, with simple sentence structure and boxed facts that elaborate upon the photos, the books will inform and engage readers. Questions in the text ('Sometimes people say that they are feeling blue. What does this mean?') will promote further investigation. Each page in the first chapter features an item of the highlighted color plus an additional fact. A second chapter presents shades of the color. Surprisingly, only Blue refers to the fact that primary colors blend to create other colors. These are suitable choices for libraries and classrooms. School Library Journal
