of the beach ball in his basket of balls and the roses outside his window. He liked the blue of the sky and the boat he sailed in the bathtub. He liked oranges to eat and the orange of his schoolbooks. He liked purple grapes and purple snakes and purple fish. Yes, he liked all the colors of the rainbow, but most of all he loved YELLOW! This love causes him to follow the rainbow to its end in hopes of finding the pot of gold — the finest yellow of all. What he found was far better than gold.

Be sure to take a peek at HOW THE GOLD GOT IN THE GOLDEN RULE, another very funny book about gold.
"This is a lovely example of an early reader. The only downside is that it uses American spelling (e.g. 'color' not 'colour'), and so may be confusing to children just learning to read and write."

Patrick is a Leprechaun, but he is tired of green. He loves all colours, but especially yellow, so when he sees a rainbow he decides to follow it to see if there really is a pot of gold at the end.
This is a lovely example of an early reader. Simple and colourful illustrations, an easy-to-follow story, and simple vocabulary ideal for those just learning to read. The text is large-size and easy to see even though my Kindle would not resize it. Read by parents as a bedtime story or by children on their own to learn, this would be great for the under-5 age group, and possibly those in playschool or first school. It has a short sample of another story at the end, which is as promising as this one.

Well the American spelling is nothing that would keep me away, and I am curious as to whether early readers are something that I could use for my work. I have a feeling that this one would be a hit though, just judging by the title, although I am told you are not supposed to do that, but oh well.
