This is a planning page, not a book!

My Plan
The particular problem this book addresses is the difficulty one-year-olds have with learning colors. The problem seems to be that there are a lot of different shades; you can point to two different red things, e.g. cherries and strawberries, and say they are both red... but it takes a long time for the child to get it because the thing you are pointing at are actually different colors.

There are lots of kids books with objects and colors, but the problem is they are random objects. For example, I have a book with a green teddy bear - nobody in the real-world ever says "look at that - it's a teddy-bear green colour".

I want not got just 'green' but bottle, olive, lime, pea, leaf, emerald, mint and fern-green -- and pictures of each item (e.g. bottle-green, http://imageafter.com/image.php?image=b19glass019.jpg) with a breakout box containing the color and a line to a point on the image where it actually is that color in the box. I want to buuld up a resource of 63 colors in total! This may be published in hardcopy, but I have never done a book before.

I use biscuit-brown and custard-yellow etc. with my youngling.
