Relation To Books One

Blue is a quiet color. Red’s a hothead who likes to pick on Blue. Yellow, Orange, Green, and Purple don’t like what they see, but what can they do? When no one speaks up, things get out of hand — until One comes along and shows all the colors how to stand up, stand together, and count. As budding young readers learn about numbers, counting, and primary and secondary colors, they also learn about accepting each other's differences and how it sometimes just takes one voice to make everyone count.

Judgment Epithetical Books One

A very nicely done book in colors and numbers that highlights bullying in an easy to read format for preschool to grade 2. The story begins with an ink blot in Blue that is being put down by another in Red. At the same time, other colors are watching but are too afraid to stand up to Red. It isnt until number 1 comes along and tells Blue to be strong that all the colors begin to change to numbers and are counted. Otoshi does a very good job of identifying those characteristics that make Red the

I rarely review picture books. It's not that I don't love them. It's just that I'm a YA writer and there are so many YA books and only so many time to read and review them. So it has to be a particularly special picture book for me to review it. And let me tell you, this one is it. The illustrations, though simple, are quite lovely and colorful. It would draw any child's eye. But it's the story that sold me. Because although ONE is in many ways educational, teaching kids counting and colors, it

Deceptively simple, One actually covers colors, numbers, bullying, and self-esteem. Otoshi's text is well-crafted for reading aloud and kids will love the way Red's favorite bullying phrase rolls off the tongue, "Red is hot. Blue is not." Without a face in sight, Otoshi still manages to make her watercolor blob characters expressive and endearing. As with most bullying stories, the ending is problematic - is it realistic that Red stops bullying the others and becomes part of their group? I don't

LOVE the anti-bullying message in this one. Could be integrated into my "dot" storytime theme.

Why this book? This book has an amazing simplicity that belies its profoundly deeper meaning. The main characters are only colors and numbers on a white background. Yet the book weaves a powerful story of bullying and courage, of standing up for your friends, and ultimately, of forgiveness. In some ways it feels sort of Zen. It is elegantly and beautifully simple, with nothing to distract you from its powerful message. There is much to talk about in this bookGenre: FictionTheme/Keywords:

This is a picture book that personifies spots of color to tell a story about a bully, and the one who stood up to him, then helped him learn to let people be who they are. Sounds too good to be true, but it is told in such a simple, clever way, and it really rings true. I think it should be required reading in schools!
