Reviews: Red is Best

Red is BestRed is Best gets it right. This is a true children’s classic.

Ken Setterington, author, storyteller, Children and Youth Advocate

Delightful.

School Library Journal

This book is brilliantly written from a kid’s point of view (i.e. “juice tastes better in the red cup”), so all kids will enjoy it. I thought it was a nice touch that Kelly’s mom lost patience about having everything red. That is SO true!

And just for the record, my red sweater keeps me warmer, my red mitts make better snowballs, my red shoes make my feet dance, my red socks make my toes wiggle…..

Matt Allec on Chapters.Indigo.ca

Such a cute book! This is a tiny little book that you can fit in your pocket or purse. The story is super cute and my four year old daughter really likes it. It makes a really nice stocking stuffer or small gift tucked inside a Christmas card.

T. Wright on Amazon.ca

This Canadian classic, new in board book, gets to the heart of a preschooler’s joyous self-assertion. Succinct, poetic and convincing.
