Title: Good for beginning readers
Review: "Purple Is Part of a Rainbow" is a good book for children with developing vocabularies. In this book, the simple rhymes of Carolyn Kowalczyk are well complemented by the lovely artwork of Gene Sharp.The rhymes follow a standard format: "A petal is part of a flower. / A rainbow is part of a shower. / A feather is part of a bird. / A letter is part of a word." Each sentence is accompanied by an illustration. The colorful illustrations have a soft, gentle quality to them. Another nice touch is the fact that the artwork depicts people of various racial/ethnic characteristics.The educational value of the book is enhanced by a word list at the end. Overall, a well done collaboration, with a wonderfully poetic title.
