The novel is set in 1958 before the drug, etc. scene. So the characters are valid to the period. A wonderful novel.

This is a great book to share with even the tiniest readers.

The greater the contrast, the more an infant's eyes are going to be drawn to a pattern. Therefore black and white captures their attention the best.

I've been reading this book to my baby since he was just 6 weeks old, and he continues to love it at 6 months. Of course, now he mostly loves to eat it!

The reader is the beneficiary of this smart, deep collection of obsessive compulsive creators. I loved the witty writing and the deep well of art and commentary. I've given this book out as a gift to my clients as a way of opening their eyes and really seeing true design integrity. After looking at the world in black and white, color somehow seems like a cheap gimmick.

Black and Red and White is a beautiful, touching, and thoughtful book that contains many unique insights into different cultures around the world and universal values of human life. Sonia P. Seherr-Thoss combines elements of travel, adventure, romance, and reflection that make for an enlightening experience and a very worthwhile read.

Bud's mom warns him that the new dog must prove himself before he has her permission to remain on the farm. "If he chases the cows and scares the chickens, he can't be a farm dog." His black and white coloring let him blend in perfectly with the other black and white animals, and since he does not cause a disturbance, he is allowed to stay. The colorful, realistic illustrations depict gentle farm life scenes.

I BELIEVED THE MESSAGE IN THIS BOOK IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE FOR OUR YOUNG CHILDREN.

The text is clear and easy to understand. The graphics and illustrations support the text extremely well. I have found this book to be an excellent text to teach from. Students enjoy reading it and they find it easy to follow. This book also contains wonderful photographs to inspire young photographers. I f you teach photography you should not overlook this well written and illustrated book.

Once again Alan Baker has written a book with beautiful pictures that fit in with the text. The text is simple enough for young readers, yet still informative enough to be educational at the same time. All together this makes for a book which can be enjoyed by children, while teaching them in an unconfusing manner.

This is a wonderful book for both children and adults. For kids it is an adventurous tale about Mooseberry the mouse. The children learn about the importance of Christian values by learning the importance of saying kind words, serving others, sharing, and forgiving people by reading about how Mooseberry, the Mouse, brings color back into the world with the guidance of Captain Chameleon. The amazing thing about this book is the way in which the author handles the religious undertones- right down to the details. Toward the end, the last color left to regain in the rainbow was the color purple which symbolizes the forgiveness that Jesus has given us. As an adult I found myself reading this book to my husband because it was so good!
