Loss De Plott, The Colour Red, by Stephan J Myers

It is all about a book of dreams in The Colour Red, a wonderful read for young children with active imaginations. My little one is 7 and loved the illustrations and she has asked me to make her a book of dreams that she can keep under the bed! Highly original and one to be read over and over again.

I can't wait for my grandchildren to get older so I can read this with them, although at 3 my grandson loves the beautifully illustrated pictures.. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone by this wonderful author and artist.

I bought this for my 6 year old daughter and both her and I thoroughly enjoyed this enchanting and magical tale. Beautifully written in rhyme, thought provoking with fabulous illustrations, this book opened up a wonderful world of dreams for my daughter and I to share together. We are both really looking forward to reading 'The Colour Blue' to see how the adventures develop.

I have been meaning to write a review for The Colour Red for a while because it really is a book that has to be read. Wherever I look I see great reviews for this and deservedly so. Magical illustrations woven with wonderful words telling the story of Loss and her book of dreams.My children are 6 and 8 and they have me reading it over and over again.

This has to be one of the most refreshing books written for children. Encouraging the mind of a child to use their own imagination is hard, but when I read this to children they want to do just that. The ryhme is beautifully written and the illustrations further enhance the enchancting tale.

Really enjoyed this book. lovely story and well writen. My son loved the pictures.I think the way it rhymes makes it stand out.

I did a review of the grownup fable featuring Loss and was interested to see how the character would work in a children's book. The illustrations are truly magical and refreshingly different from most children's illustrations today . Look at the cover and you know this is something special. The words are beautiful and written in verse. I have read it several times this morning (it only came today!) and it is so catchy you can't get the words out of your head. I have just ordered another one as a birthday present and can't recommend it enough.
