'WORLD OF COLOUR' is about a 75 tales of colours with numerous pictures of wonderful shades and illustrated beautifully.It is  squeal of EXPLORING THE PAST.There is a quote in the library' BOOKS FALL OPEN YOU FALL IN 'that is what it happened to me with this book also.It is all about colours  , inventions of new colours , colours in nature and features of different colours.It created a sense of colours in the minds of young readers.The most exciting part which I felt marvelous was an African folktale 'Mulungu paints the birds'and the magic of rainbow colours.

The African folktale is all about Mulungu who suggested that the world should be colourful started to paint the birds and all except the dove remains white as an  African bird Che Mlanda had overtaken the chance of dove and wanted to be painted with all primary colours. So it grew into a dark brown shade around the body of Che Mlanda.

In the rainbow section it was the Violet which I liked the most.Violet is the favorite colour of Napoleon - french emperor and the colour of knowledge.Anyway it was wonderful to read.
