Rosa-Mendoza, G. (2000). Colors and Shapes. Wheaton, IL: me+mi publishing.
Colors and Shapes is a small bilingual book that goes through the different shapes and colors in both English and Spanish. Some of the shapes include circle, diamond, triangle.
I used this book with a kindergarten class and it went over pretty well. I would say that it would still be considered high quality literature even though the book is very simplistic. The reason why is because the illustrations of the different children in the book come from many different racial groups and the facial expressions are all different on the children. The book definitely favors English however since the English language is written on the top, however, the Spanish is still listed.
Even on the back of the page, it asks children to find the colors and shapes. This is a great last page of the book as it's basically recapping everything that the book just talked about.
