  | Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 10/01/2017 PreS-Gr 2— A great competition begins—Blue vs. Yellow. With each succeeding page, the debate continues to highlight every reason to favor or dislike the hues. "Blue is the color of the whole sky," but all you see in the sky "is a bright yellow sun." "If you're blue—you're sad." Or "if you're yellow—you're a scaredy-cat." "The FASTEST animal in the world is yellow—but the BIGGEST…is blue." As the merits of fast yellow cars and big blue trucks are extolled, an unexpected mid-book explosion challenges readers with an opportunity to explore the merge of the two colors, the glory of green and the impossibility that yet another color—Red might actually be the best. Humor propels the conversation while simple dot shapes and common objects accented with black populate the pages with additional yellow or blue digital images. VERDICT While nothing new or groundbreaking here, this is a general purchase for schools, art classes, and libraries where young readers enjoy the humor of persuasive speech in the context of an outrageous competition.— Mary Elam, Learning Media Services, Plano ISD, TX - Copyright 2017 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
