What reviewers said
"An invitation to see and appreciate how 12 generic habitats exhibit distinctive color schemes. Konečná's painterly approach comes through strongly, as each spread features a populous array of finely brushed images of flora and fauna topped by a row of 12 large, labeled daubs that identify most of the hues found beneath--though not all of them, which rather vitiates the thesis. Within the crowded "polar regions" habitat, for instance, the artist uses seven different blues, three whites, and, visually adjacent to both, "frozen grass" and "winter breath," but warmer reds, browns, and yellows in…
"The oversized Colors of Habitats is a lovely survey of world habitats and their colorful appearances, and will appeal to young naturalists with good reading skills who want to learn about different habitats and their inhabitants.

"COLORS OF HABITATS is a beautifully illustrated oversized book of inspiration for artists. What I loved: This book would be fantastic inspiration for budding artists, with so many animals and beautiful illustrations. The diversity of habitats is great with lots to view and think about. For young painters, this would be a great guide to recreating the world around them. I appreciated that the animals are all labeled so that children can search for those they are particularly interested in, and the labeled colors at the top add to the fun and make a start towards creating a palette for each…
"This is a beautiful and unusual guide for people interested in working in any kind of colors for drawing or painting subjects from nature. This is a perfect book to engender experimentation in color and illustration for young people and even adults who are dipping their toes in drawing and painting." ―San Francisco Book Review
"The beautiful painted illustrations of nature can help children learn where many colors come from. I love that the author is teaching not only colors, but animals and their habitats. Children may find this a soothing read for when they need to calm down. Animal-loving children and art-loving children should both enjoy this book." ―Jean Ladden, Librarian
