Red Green Blue A First Book of Colors by Alison Jay

On a gray, rainy day a boy experiences various nursery rhymes.  A color is represented in each nursery rhyme.  This is not a book that has the nursery rhymes written out word for word.  A couplet rhyme summarizes the main idea of each nursery rhyme.  The illustrations contain more nursery rhymes occurring in the background of each page.  Often the reader can predict by studying the illustrations which nursery rhyme will be on the next page.  At the end there is a page that reveals what nursery rhymes were included throughout the book.  I saw more rhymes that author/illustrator listed, though!  A very fun book for a variety of ages.
