About this ebook
Are bananas yellow . . . or is yellow a banana? Learn all about yellow—and other colorful things—in this rollicking picture book from John Himmelman, author of the Bunjitsu Bunny series
Approaching the concept of color, and the creative ways in which young children assign names to things in the world around them, with a fun, playful tone, this picture book is perfect for group or individual read-aloud story times.
That yellow is a banana. No, a banana is yellow. These purples are grapes. No, these grapes are purple! This orange is a pumpkin. No, that pumpkin is orange! And this orange is . . . orange?
With two charming siblings and a fresh, limited palette that allows each featured color to really shine, young readers will learn as they laugh in this side-splittingly funny, unique picture book.

About the author
John Himmelman is a naturalist, a martial arts instructor, and the award-winning author-illustrator of nearly 90 books for young readers, including the Bunjitsu Bunny series praised by School Library Journal as “Delightful . . . reminiscent of Arnold Lobel’s ‘Frog and Toad’ stories or Jon Muth’s ever-popular Zen Shorts.” What his books have in common is his desire to share what makes him laugh, what gives him hope, and what he wants to learn more about. Himmelman lives in Killingworth, Connecticut, with his wife, Betsy, and their menagerie of dogs, cats, and chickens.
