"In my new yellow shirt I am a duck quacking,splashing through a big puddle of sun. Watch out! Now I'm a taxi-- HONK! HONK! --zooming down the street." When a little boy gets a plain yellow shirt for his birthday, his friend Sam thinks it's a very ordinary gift. But the birthday boy has other ideas. Before long, he has transformed himself into many wonderful yellow things. In this cheerful story, Eileen Spinelli's energetic text and Hideko Takahashi's vibrant pictures prove that, with imagination, the sky's the limit. Average Rating:
 Rating: - my son loves this bookWe got this book for my son when he was only 16 months old, so he obviously couldn't follow the story line yet.

I heartily recommend it, even for kids who prefer blue, or green, or red, or orange... Rating: - My 18 month old LOVES this bookThis book is wonderful. It uses words my daughter is now beginning to learn and understand, and reinforces it with pictures. I highly recommend it! Rating: - MellowWhen the author's son, Sean, was about four, he got a new yellow shirt and thought that he was a banana. In this picture book, the author thinks of that incident and tells the story of a boy and his friend, Sam. The birthday boy gets a new yellow shirt from his Aunt Betty. He puts it on and he is a splashing duck, a roaring golden lion, a zooming taxi, a daffodil, a fish, and a lazy bug. He is many other things set in a variety of scenes, even a trumpet in a parade, and a thumping banana in a kitchen. ... Read More
