Review: Sassy Non-sters in Color


Sassy Non-sters in Color by Grosset & Dunlap. 2013. 12 pgs. New York, NY: Penguin Group USA. 9780448464657. Format reviewed: Board Book.

Annotation: Meet the Non-sters!
Reaction: Children will enjoy monsters doing familiar activities on each page, such as dancing, playing outside, and smelling flowers. The bright colors and effective use of white space ensures small children won’t be overwhelmed and can focus on the color described and shown.
Primary early literacy skills: Print Awareness. Using sparse text, and matching the word of the color with the typeface color and the color of the monster makes for a consistent message.
Recommended ages: 1 and up.
Tags/themes: Monsters, Concept-colors.
