<DIV>Barney Saltzberg’s irrepressible and imaginative books—<I>Good Egg</I>, <I>Beautiful Oops!</I>, <I>Arlo Needs Glasses</I>, and <I>A Little Bit of Oomph!</I>, combine distinctive art, a lively spirit, and paper engineering to bring great joy to kids (and grown-ups, too). Now Barney is launching a new series of board books about a character named Redbird. With his long orange beak, red body, and friendly expression, Redbird calls to mind Dr. Seuss’s offbeat heroes and Boynton’s zany barnyard creatures, while embodying the author’s signature playful style.<BR /><BR /> In <I>Colors, Colors, Everywhere!</I>, Redbird tries to pick his favorite color—is it red like him, blue like the sky, or yellow like the sun? Finally, he concludes: <I>Colors, colors, everywhere! It’s hard to really choose. . . . It’s hard to really know! And that’s the reason why I love . . . the colors of the rainbow!</I></DIV>
