Based on introducing colors inductively, The Absolutely Stupendous Colors is the clearest, most straight-forward, non-pressuring method ever created to teach babies and toddlers colors. Even a five-month-old child could differentiate three colors from this method. Parents are amazed that besides learning colors, their children also began to recognize the words for them. And friends and relatives are impressed that their children know so many colors--including chartreuse and gold.This book is designed by a mother whose children were reading fluently by kindergarten. She began teaching each of her seven children from the cradle. As a result of early learning, today, several of them are among the highest ranking academics in this world. And to think--It all began from simple, fun activities, such as what's in this book!

From the first day that I taught in China, students repeatedly told me, “We are the future of China!” I couldn’t help being impressed with their desire to build up their country. They wanted it to someday become one of the most beloved powers in this world. They wished to create a kind, benevolent China—one that would serve as a shining example to the world, which would ever be ready to help and build up other nations, so we all can enjoy outstanding, prosperous futures someday. These young people now wish to share their stories with you, to give you a glimpse of the vibrancy of their rapidly changing world.

Do children need to be developmentally ready to know colors? We, of the STUPENDOUS COLORS method, wonder about this, for it has taught three colors to a baby who was just five months old. It also clarified colors toddlers often confused. With its straightforward, inductive method of introducing colors, it often taught fifteen colors to toddlers in five days—including chartreuse and gold, which are not easy to learn, while also increasing their vocabulary and concentration spans. This method has been tested on 300 preschoolers, who absolutely loved it and showed great enthusiasm for it. STUPENDOUS COLORS has been a favorite among many toddlers, who amazed people by how many colors they knew. Once they learned the colors, children have been known to insist upon carrying this book everywhere they went and reading it over and over again to themselves. So why not let a mother, who had taught her kids to read fluently by kindergarten, show you what this book can do?
