Rain doesn't stop Andy and his mother from setting out to shop. A rainbow, something new to Andy, hoever, does stop him in his tracks. His mother patiently explains what it is and helps him connect each of the colors to objects in nature and in his daily life. She then introduces him to the Guess the Color Game, which children and their families can play at home, in restuarants and elsewhere. The story concludes wuth another game, the Name the Color Game. The child, at the beginning with the hep of an adult, uses the six pages of the colors of the rainbow at the end of the book to play that game. Both games capture children's attention and encourage them to be thoughtful and imaginative.

"Love of children," stands out in Bernice's life. Trained as a social worker (Russel Sage College), teacher (State University of New York in Plattsburg) and guidance counselor and reading specialist (New York University), she has used her knowledge and skills in many ways. Early in her career, she was a caseworker for children in foster homes. One of her most challenging and satisfying experiences began ten days after her honeymoon when she became cottage mother for twenty boys, ages 5 to 15, boys who had been unable to adjust to life in other cottages. Most of her working years, however, were devoted to teaching children Ð in preschool, kindergarten and the early grades - on Long Island, and in supervising student teachers of the early grades at Douglass College and Rutgers University. Her joy in her work was combined with joy in her personal life, as wife, mother of two sons, and four-time grandmother. These two interrelated sides - her career and her personal life - are reflected in two co-authored books: four editions of Student Teacher's Handbook and A Guide to a Happier Family. She has been on many radio and TV programs, including Oprah. Her other interests include reading, sports, especially tennis, and the arts. She is happy to have Michael Go as her partner in producing the Andy Series of Rhymed Children's Books.
