Long Shot: Children's book circa 1970s about the color red

[Hyacinth]

I'm trying to remember a book title. I have very little to go on. It was a simple book--targeting very early readers/preschoolers. It featured a black-haired girl who LOVED the color red. I think the illustrations were all black and white and, of course, red. I would've enjoyed it in the early 1970s. Anyone?

Probably Red Is Best.

It was sort of like that, but Red Is Best was published in 1982, so that can't be it. Thanks, though.

If you don't need it right away and don't care if it's a remainder, their Bargain Basement or Clearance sales are great.

In case anyone cares, Ann Likes Red was originally published as part of a series called Early Start Pre-school Readers, which had limited vocabulary and were marketed as helping your child "learn to read before school." There were ~25 in the whole series. Now and again lots come up on eBay, etc.

Love the picture of Miss Suzy the squirrel at the top of the page! One of my favorites. "I love to cook, I love to bake, I think I'll make an acorn cake."  :)

That's the first book I thought of.  My oldest dd loved that book when she was little.  We still resite that book when we're talking about red.   (red, red, red) :lol:
