This Book Is Red

Reach for this book when your child is in a defiant mood or loves to point out when you are wrong. It is a brilliant tool for a child who is currently obsessed with rules and facts, as it invites them to confidently challenge the narrator. By intentionally mislabeling colors, the story creates a safe, hilarious space for your child to take the lead and assert their own knowledge. This absurdist concept book uses reverse psychology to engage young readers. While the narrator insists that blue penguins and green frogs are actually red, children are encouraged to shout back the truth. It is perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students who are developing their sense of humor and their ability to stand up for what they know is right. You will find it is a fantastic way to turn a grumpy evening into a session of shared laughter and spirited debate.
