Guest Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 MY mind has gone blank im looking for stories for colour. For red i can only thing of little red riding hood and the little red hen Blue = the blue balloon Please can anyone come up with anything else .
AnonyMouse_2127 Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 How about Grandpas Handkerchief? It has lovely bright pictures. The story goes through Grandpas week. On Monday he uses his yellow hanky to wave to the trains, on Tuesday he uses his white hanky for bandaging a knee, each day of the week he uses a different colour hanky for something. It's by Dorothy Clark. Is there one called The Big Red Bus Ride? Elmer, of course, Green Eggs and Ham and The Mixed Up Chameleon - just a few I thought of, hope it helps a bit.
Guest Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? Chidi only likes blue Elmer Red rockets and rainbow jelly Rainbow fish I think Shirley Hughes did a book about colours - but I cant recall it at the moment Jo

AnonyMouse_73 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 'what colour is love' is wonderful. I only discovered it about 18 months ago. Think the author is linda strachna
Guest Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 There's one called Anna's Amazing Multicoloured Glasses I think. That was really lovely, with a different colour on each day.
Guest Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Might be out of print but "Planting a rainbow" Olivers vegetables/ fruit has lots of brightly coloured fruit and veg. Rumplestiltskin - gold
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Hi from me, too bonny! Isn't there a Quentin Blake where the colours appear/reappear? I can't find it myself, so would be grateful!!!!!! Sue
AnonyMouse_2760 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Christina Rossetti's poem - What is Pink? Is lovely and is great to use as a writing frame for children's own ideas and poem. I have used it really successfully with Year R, Year 1 and Year2 even to Year 5 and had some fab poems and illustrations. Made a great display too but unfortunately havent got any pics.
