Did you know that colors can tell stories? The illustrations in this charming board book introduce your brilliant baby to all kinds of things that are red, including a clanging fire truck, a playful squirrel eluding a grabby crab, a jar of strawberry jam and a hungry red fox, a beautiful sunset, and a field of poppies under an apple tree. Little Red Riding Hood carrying a basket of strawberries begins this fun story that leads in surprising directions, all with a strong and vibrant red hue. Part of the Colors series.
