Another playful color lesson, the paper-over-board Duckie's Rainbow by Frances Barry starts out as a quarter-circle and doubles to a half-circle when youngsters open the cover. As readers follow the feathered heroine's journey ""through the red poppy field,"" ""under the orange bridge"" and onward, the book continues to change: the pages, decreasing in size, begin to form a large rainbow that stretches across the book's full width-with the colors in their proper order (ROYGBIV).
