Given The Complete Text. Each Color Highlighted In The Book Gets A Four-page Spread; The Text Of The Poem For Each Color Is Typically Found On Three Pages With A Few Lasting Only Two Pages. The Individual Sections All Start Out With The Color Is And Then Go Into A List Of What Items, Smells, And Sounds Make Up That Color. For Example, Brown Is The Color Of A Country Road\/back Of A Turtle\/back Of A Toad.\/brown Is Cinnamon\/and Morning Toast\/and The Good Smell Of\/the Sunday Roast\/.
