Children’s Books About Colors

One of my favorite things to teach my preschoolers is colors! Preschoolers are generally very interested in learning about colors. They are so observant and want to know what everything is! A preschool book list would not be complete without children’s books about colors. All of these books are fun for helping your child learn all of his colors!
