Summary

Red loves being red！ Apples， wagons， fire trucks -- he thinks all the best things are red！ Yellow admires Red's roses， but Red just wants to be left to mind his own business -- why can't Yellow mind hers？

But when Yellow and Blue go off to make frogs， shamrocks， and caterpillars， Red realizes that he may be missing out。 The possibilities are endless when the colors work together！

Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers with more information on encouraging empathy and cooperation。

This is a cute book about the importance of collaboration， and about kindness and forgiveness。 I liked the simplicity of the illustrations， and the message， but overall wasn't blown away。 It's not a book I'll add to my weekly reads in the classroom， but I would definitely include it in a Primary Colors theme， or a working together theme。 This is a cute book about the importance of collaboration， and about kindness and forgiveness。 I liked the simplicity of the illustrations， and the message， but overall wasn't blown away。 It's not a book I'll add to my weekly reads in the classroom， but I would definitely include it in a Primary Colors theme， or a working together theme。 。。。more

This book was not what I was expecting after choosing it randomly off the shelves。 It was a decent story about the three primary colors， who must work together to color the world。 Many lessons throughout about feelings， respect， kindness， and more。 There’s also a helpful section with more information for parents about growing empathy， self esteem， etc in children。 This would be a great story for use in the classroom or school setting or with a school psychologist。

“It all the colors together that make the world a remarkable place to be。”Red likes being red and thinking about all the red things he creates。 So when Yellow stops by to admire Red’s， Red becomes annoyed。 “My roses are my business。 You go worry about your lemons， daffodils and sunflowers。” Yellow didn’t get mad， though， and tried to persuade Red that they could work together to create even more beautiful things。 But Red likes being alone and only thinking about Red 。。。 not orange。 So Yellow che “It all the colors together that make the world a remarkable place to be。”Red likes being red and thinking about all the red things he creates。 So when Yellow stops by to admire Red’s， Red becomes annoyed。 “My roses are my business。 You go worry about your lemons， daffodils and sunflowers。” Yellow didn’t get mad， though， and tried to persuade Red that they could work together to create even more beautiful things。 But Red likes being alone and only thinking about Red 。。。 not orange。 So Yellow cheerfully moves on and works with Blue。 But after awhile， Red starts to regret being so snippy with Yellow and begins to feel lonely。 A passing Ladybug teaches Red that having company around makes one feels better and that a simple apology can work wonders。There’s a note in the back for parents and caregivers on how to use this story to develop healthy self-esteem in children， promote respect and how to foster forgiveness。 。。。more

simple but strong message about the value of working together。

Robin ，

Interesting concept。 I love the idea of the primary colors being characters with distinct personalities but the storytelling was awful。 Dull， preachy， and everything a kids book should strive NOT to be。 Where's the playfulness and fun？ Interesting concept。 I love the idea of the primary colors being characters with distinct personalities but the storytelling was awful。 Dull， preachy， and everything a kids book should strive NOT to be。 Where's the playfulness and fun？ 。。。more

Red Yellow Blue is almost as simple as its title - Red likes his red things and would prefer not to be disturbed while making， or thinking about making red things。 He snaps at Yellow， who wants to work together to make orange things。 Red later realizes he is lonely， and goes to make things right with Yellow;。 The text is much more complex than I expected from the simple premise - and it works。 The ending is sweet and predictable。 Good story for preschoolers！

Genre: modern fantasy Grade: preschool-2Review: this book would be a good art lesson。 The only problem is that there isn’t a lot of red and blue mixing。 Most of the book is just red having a conflict with yellow。 I think it would be better if there was purple/ violet。

RATING: 3。5 STARS2019; American Psychological Association/Magination Press（Review Not on Blog）Red thinks his colour is the best and the most important。 He doesn't even like it when another colour admires red。 He tells them to mind their own business。 He soon notices other colours working together and begins to wonder if he is better on his own。 This is a great tool in helping kids learn about working together and empathy。 I liked the art in this one too。。。it's creative and great。***I received an RATING: 3。5 STARS2019; American Psychological Association/Magination Press（Review Not on Blog）Red thinks his colour is the best and the most important。 He doesn't even like it when another colour admires red。 He tells them to mind their own business。 He soon notices other colours working together and begins to wonder if he is better on his own。 This is a great tool in helping kids learn about working together and empathy。 I liked the art in this one too。。。it's creative and great。***I received an eARC from NETGALLEY*** 。。。more

Red is very busy absorbed with red things in his red-focused world。 He is responsible for red apples， red wagons， red firetrucks etc。 He is very protective and possessive of all things of that colour。 Yellow， with similar responsibilities with her colour， stops by and wonders if perhaps she and Red could fuse together and make a new colour。。。 orange would be great fun to construct。 If they blend their colours together they can make pumpkins， newts， and carrots。 Yellow tells him， "It's all the co Red is very busy absorbed with red things in his red-focused world。 He is responsible for red apples， red wagons， red firetrucks etc。 He is very protective and possessive of all things of that colour。 Yellow， with similar responsibilities with her colour， stops by and wonders if perhaps she and Red could fuse together and make a new colour。。。 orange would be great fun to construct。 If they blend their colours together they can make pumpkins， newts， and carrots。 Yellow tells him， "It's all the colours together the make the world a remarkable place to be？"Red lashes out at Yellow （ out of frustration ） because he has more than enough on his plate just being， and creating red things。 He is very rude to her and says some mean things， "So what if we make orange together？ he said。 "Can't you just leave me be？" I want to think about red and only red。 That's my business。 I'll take care of my business and you take care of yours。" Oh my， that's not nice！ Poor Yellow。 She is just reaching out to him and trying to be his friend。 She sighs and off she goes to visit Blue。 Happily they share their colours and make green frogs， shamrocks and caterpillars， and they stay far away from grumpy， crochety old Red。 Red stays all alone muttering to himself about all things red。 Yellow and Blue continue to create and love being and working together。 After thinking about Yellow's proposition to him and the possibilities of the wonderful things that they could create together Red begins to feel guilty， ashamed of himself， very sad， and very alone。 With the help of a sweet kind little ladybug Red realizes that what he said toYellow was unacceptable and that he needs to make amends and go and say he is sorry to her。 Will she accept his apology and forgive him for his rudeness？ Will he be invited to work with Yellow and Blue and perhaps make something that is beautiful all working together？ This is a wonderful book about teamwork， acceptance， kindness， forgiveness， self-esteem and emotions。 At the end of the book the author includes helpful information to adults on how to use the book effectively。 It sparks lots of opportunity for discussion。 I think it is an important book and I highly recommend it。 。。。more

This book is a great story， beautiful illustrations and I love the practical helps in the back for parents/educators to instruct on the books topics。 This digital copy was provided to me by NetGalley。

I like that the book teaches colors/color blending， working together， etc。， but it just felt like it was lacking something。

Ryan ，

I like the idea of this book， but I think it is trying to hard to be too many things。 At first it’s a color books about red， yellow， and blue making the world a colorful thing。 But then it’s a friendship book， and then a helping others book， and a caring about yourself book。 As I said， this book is trying to do too much。 The story needs to be paired down， shorter， and better laid out， and the two pages for “Notes” to parents are not necessary。 If you have to explain how to use your book， then yo I like the idea of this book， but I think it is trying to hard to be too many things。 At first it’s a color books about red， yellow， and blue making the world a colorful thing。 But then it’s a friendship book， and then a helping others book， and a caring about yourself book。 As I said， this book is trying to do too much。 The story needs to be paired down， shorter， and better laid out， and the two pages for “Notes” to parents are not necessary。 If you have to explain how to use your book， then you have done something wrong。#BBRC #AtoZ 。。。more

Thank you to #netgalley for providing this book for our review。 Victor enjoyed this one！ He said that Mr Red was grumpy but he learned about saying sorry and being a good friend。 A great social emotional book to read with kids！

Amber Webb ，

Red Yellow Blue is a beautiful book at purpose， interaction， kindness and interconnectedness and how at the end of the day， we all need each other。 While we might each have our own tasks， we can also create new and beautiful things when we work with each other。 The end pages and guide were incredibly helpful and a wonderful addition to the book。

Jennie Seaman ，

I really liked the concept of this book。 The importance of cooperation and the need we have for connection to others is a very good lesson for little ones。 But I think that this book didn't execute the idea very well。 There were words used that would be difficult for children to understand。 Also， I think that with a little more to the book， the concept would have come across better。 I didn't feel like there was much growth for Red。 Overall， a nice concept， but the execution was lacking for me。 I really liked the concept of this book。 The importance of cooperation and the need we have for connection to others is a very good lesson for little ones。 But I think that this book didn't execute the idea very well。 There were words used that would be difficult for children to understand。 Also， I think that with a little more to the book， the concept would have come across better。 I didn't feel like there was much growth for Red。 Overall， a nice concept， but the execution was lacking for me。 。。。more

With so many books about colors and the emotions already out there， this one fell flat for me。 Too wordy， and the pacing felt off。 Could be useful with elementary/older kids。

Jo ，

Such a sweet book！ I loved that it showed the beauty in cooperation as well as the reality that people have bad days and hopefully we can forgive them and not hold grudges。 There is additional information located in the back for parents/adults。 I will certainly gift this to others！Thank you， APA and NetGalley！

Donna Maguire ，

I liked the idea behind this book， it is a book that is not just about colours but about friendship， being kind to one another and forgiveness too。 I thought that the images were nice and bright but Red in the book for me was more of a pink colour so hopefully if a physical copy is bought it might be a bit more defined。 I liked that this is a good introduction to primary colours and making new colours for young children。

Shauna Roth ，

A very nice book about primary colours and needing to work together to create other colours。 It was also about being kind， and having friends， and forgiveness。 I would put this in my school library collection as it would be a good conversation starter。 Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for the arc。

Kristen ，

Great story that shows children how working together is better than just doing everything on your own and how the world looks better when you do work together。

This is a fairly decent story about cooperation， kindness， and saying you're sorry。Red is so caught up in the wonderfulness of being red that he barely acknowledges the other primary colours， Yellow and Blue。 So， while he's admiring all things red all by himself， Yellow and Blue work happily together to create green things。 Eventually， though， Red gets lonely。 He realizes he needs to apologize for what he said to Yellow。 Yellow forgives him， and the three colours work together to create somethin This is a fairly decent story about cooperation， kindness， and saying you're sorry。Red is so caught up in the wonderfulness of being red that he barely acknowledges the other primary colours， Yellow and Blue。 So， while he's admiring all things red all by himself， Yellow and Blue work happily together to create green things。 Eventually， though， Red gets lonely。 He realizes he needs to apologize for what he said to Yellow。 Yellow forgives him， and the three colours work together to create something beautiful。I don't really have a problem with the story or the illustrations。 Both are simple， but effective。 What kind of brought down the overall enjoyment of the book for me was the inclusion of the Note to Parents and Caregivers at the end。 I realize now that Magination Press is an arm of the American Psychological Association， which may be why there's such a long-winded note （it's two-and-a-half pages in tiny print）。 Still， I don't like these notes in picture books as a general rule， especially when they go about explaining what the story is supposed to mean。 If that's not evident from the story itself， explaining it to adults in a note at the end isn't really going to help。 In addition， this note rambles on about self-esteem， finding purpose in putting your clothes in the hamper， and a strange notion of forgiveness:Simply put， we forgive others so that they will forgive us when we make mistakes。That's very simplistic， not at all realistic， and a rather selfish way of looking at what should be a generous concept。 I can just see children demanding forgiveness from their parents with a cry of， "You have to forgive me for killing the hamster！ I forgave you for forgetting to put the fruit snacks in my lunch bag！" This tit-for-tat mentality might work for toddlers， but since the note emphasizes teaching children skills that will help them as they grow， this statement is kind of puzzling。Anyway， aside from the note （which is unnecessary）， this is a fairly well-written story about three colours who learn that their value in working together is just as important as their value as individuals。 It also teaches a little bit about colour theory， although that could've been taken a little further （we never do learn what happens when Red and Blue work together）。Thank you to NetGalley and Magination Press for providing a digital ARC。 。。。more
