[b:Cat Tale 13614653 Cat Tale Michael Hall https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1335223843s/13614653.jpg 19215237] was my introduction to [a:Michael Hall 6570330 Michael Hall https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1351872075p2/6570330.jpg] and I have been entertained by him since in [b:It's an Orange Aardvark! 18377674 It's an Orange Aardvark! Michael Hall https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1385354416s/18377674.jpg 25993452] and no doubt I will fully enjoy [b:Red: A Crayon's Story 22291131 Red A Crayon's Story Michael Hall https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1407706507s/22291131.jpg 41626053]. My first suggestion on reading this book, is to do so in a well lit room. The black background and thin crayon type font make things difficult to see otherwise (but then that's just me and lamps for bedtime stories...). I look at the cover and see a blue sky and a red crayon. It never occurred to me that it was the red crayon drawing in blue... This is a neat story, full of points to jump into conversation about school supplies and colors, even the color wheel and varying shades of those primary ones. But it is more than that too. This book can bring out dialogue about being different and about being who you are rather than what everyone else thinks you're suppose to be. Definitely intriguing. Thanks to HC for an ARC.
