Book Reviews of The Black Book of Colors
Book Review: Amazing book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is so neat! It is special because it gives you a different way to read and explore the book. I used it in my student teaching class and had the children describe some of the items in the book before I read it, encouraging them not to use sight words. Then, I had them close their eyes as I read some of the pages. Lastly, I let them each feel the page at the back before they went outside to play. They LOVED it! i HIGHLY recommend this book and encourage you to have it in your classroom to promote diversity and a different way of thinking.
Summary of The Black Book of Colors
Living with the use of one's eyes can make imagining blindness difficult, but this innovative title invites readers to imagine living without sight through remarkable illustrations done with raised lines and descriptions of colors based on imagery. Braille letters accompany the illustrations and a full Braille alphabet offers sighted readers help reading along with their fingers. This extraordinary title gives young readers the ability to experience the world in a new way.
