What color is a pumkin? What foods are brown? Konigsburg answers these questions by exploring the world of colors through foods and living things. The exagerated pictures add to the fun of reading her book, and Konigsburg's choice of word placement gives a sense of suspense. She surprises the reader with every turn of the page. Konigsburg also expreses her humor through her choice of what objects will represent each color. Who would think of eggplants for the color purple or freckles for the color brown? Konigsburg also lends a moral to young readers when she says "Some things can be any great color, and some have no great color at all. Like hugs and kisses and songs. And they are some of the best things of all."Konigsburg's childlike observations of the world will help keep young children excited as adult read the book as read-a-loud and will encourage children to look around their world searching for colors.
