Early Book Review: Crayola ® Our Colorful Earth: Celebrating the Natural World by Marie-Therese Miller

Crayola ® Our Colorful Earth: Celebrating the Natural World by Marie-Therese Miller is a nonfiction picturebook currently scheduled for release on September 7 2021. Readers explore rainbow mountains, pink sand beaches, and more and learn the science behind some of nature's most colorful geographical formations.

Crayola ® Our Colorful Earth is a wonderful pairing of bold photographs and scientific details. Each page offers readers a look at a colorful feature of nature, and the scientific explanation as to why the they are the color they are.  I think the pictures used are chosen well, and the interactions suggested by the text (answering simple questions and looking for specific colors) will keep less engaged readers on task. The information is short but interesting, making them engaging and accessible. I like that the book includes a glossary, additional facts, a hand on experiment, and options to explore for further reading. I think this book would be great in home and classroom libraries.
