Selected as Outstanding by Parent Council From Salon Online: Mothers and fathers hoping to raise C++ programmers should view with suspicion such books as "Yellow and You," by Candace Whitman, the latest addition to the "My First Colors" series. Aimed at very young children, this sensuous book will inspire a passion for yellow even among those who still pronounce it "lellow." Whitman assembles the collage illustrations from thick, fuzzy paper painted with watercolors, then torn or occasionally cut. The technique allows her to layer yellow upon yellow, building giraffes and buses, lions and brown-eyed susans against a yellow sky. Her soft, lemon-shaped paintbrushes pull color across the page. It's so intense, it looks as if it might stain your furniture.
