Classified as a “children's book” Chuck Murphy’s Color Surprises is a 3-D delight for all ages. This is one of those books that you might want to buy as a gift for new parents—while keeping one in reserve for yourself for that occasional young visitor! Each page has a square or tab that you open/pull to reveal something hidden relative to the color that it names.
Even though the intent is to teach preschoolers their colors, I would caution any purchaser from giving this to a child (solo) under the age of 4. Like any pop-up book, care is needed when handling to ensure future hours of playtime. For children under 4, it's better to have an adult assist with tabs, etc. to prevent tearing.
Colors a Pop-Up Book
Another book authored by Murphy titled Colors: Slide 'n' Seek, will hold-up better to wear by small hands. This board book gives young children the ability to slide-open a door to reveal an animal illustration associated with the named color. With a well made sliding mechanism, damage is minimized by constant play from little fingers. This book however is no longer published, but is worth the search if you can get one in good condition.
