  Each book in this series looks at one colour in detail, discussing its place in nature, food, festivals, literature and the human environment. The series is cross-curricular and aims to encourage the development of scientific, mathematical and literary skills. Focusing on the colour blue, this book explores its different meanings in the natural world. It shows that there are several blue flowers and animals and describes how the colour is used in art, and as a symbol of excellence in cordon bleu cookery. Blue is also the colour associated with sadness. A topic web indicates the relevance of the book to the various aspects of the National Curriculum at Key Stage 1, especially to geography work, and a project section is also included.
