Straight outta 1968, here are some nifty color theory books intended for children, created by art professor and Brooklyn modernist Robert Jay Wolff. These are just some of the personality pages; there's also quite a bit in these volumes about how different colors work with or against each other, the color wheel, and so on. The official titles are Seeing Red, Feeling Blue and Hello Yellow!, and they were published in 1968, in the aforelisted order, by Charles Scribner's Sons in New York. Retail price was $3.50 for clothbound hardback with dustjacket.
This blog is called Post-Apocalyptic Homeschool because I obsessively collect and stockpile used children's books just in case I need to personally educate a small village after some sort of catastrophic scenario where all the other books and technology and book-obtaining means of all kinds have been destroyed, such that the only reading materials left for miles around are the piles of books in my garage. Sensible, yes?

Robert Jay Wolff was my grandfather. I grew up with these remarkable books. Thank you for posting a short selection of their contents.
