About the Book Created by three siblings: a teacher, musician and artist; this interactive, double book and CD celebrates color. Best of all, it was created for people of all ages. Children, parents, and teachers alike, will learn and be entertained. Open one side, and you'll read nine rhyming stories about individual colors. Each one is accompanied by whimsical line drawings for children to finish coloring themselves. Flip to the other side, and you'll find the illustrated lyrics for all nine songs on the CD, including a song entitled ''Rainbow.''

About the Authors The engaging rhymes were written by Beth, a mother and former elementary school teacher, who wanted to raise the bar on subjects taught the same tired way, year after year. The poetic language appeals to children, creates pictures in their minds, and stimulates them to think about color in a different way. Her words don't define color...They help you feel them. Tom, a professional musicain with years of experience writing and recording songs for terminally and chronically ill children, has created songs that speak straight to the heart. Each one is a different tempo and musical style, ranging from rap to a waltz. The lyrics are fresh and guileless. His music crosses generations, and once you hear the songs, you won't forget them. They're that good! The artist, Jackie, has interpreted the stories and lyrics in a unique way. Her wonderful line drawings are actually part of the stories and songs. She uses one splash of color in each illustration, inviting children to fill in the rest. Jackie has created a ''color me'' book, and unlike a traditional coloring book, children will open it time and time again to enjoy the words, music and personalized pictures. www.kiddytunes.com
