Customer Reviews

When Roy G Biv requirements support building a rainbow, so he can uncover his lost pot of gold, Colleen reluctantly agrees to aid. Colleen gives up many of the points she loves to make a rainbow, that will also cease the rain for the St. Patrick's Day parade, which makes countless individuals happy. A surprise reward then tends to make Colleen pleased!

I utilized this book as the jumping off point for a lesson in a very first grade classroom. We began by locating the Emerald Isle (Ireland) on a map and talking about Ireland and standard details. Just after reading the book, sequencing the story, and then creating rainbows with bowls of water, mirrors and flashliights, the students produced rainbow cupcakes to reinforce the ROY G Biv aspect of the rainbow by layering colored cake batter, baking, and frosting with white icing as the clouds. We listened to bagpipes on Youtube and did a shamrock matching math. All based on this charming book!
My only complaint about the book is that the color "indigo" looked violet and violet looked pink...I was disappointed that the colors had been not even more authentic when that was a important component of the story!(I had the students "look for the mistake" in the book.)
