4.5 ⭐️ rounded up!
We bought this book after it was recommended by one of the speakers from The Colson Center. He warned that due to its exposure of the logical fallacies of evolution, it would probably be next in the cancellation line after the recent Dr. Seuss debacle. While it’s not an overtly Christian book, the logic is sound and definitely points to creative design being the more logical explanation.

The basic storyline is that Yellow and Pink are little wooden dolls who wake up lying on some newspaper in the sun with no idea who they are or how they got there. As they explore the questions surrounding their existence, Yellow postulates more and more coincidental circumstances that seem increasingly preposterous. Pink questions the unlikelihood of Yellow’s theories and points instead to the idea of a Creator. Yellow refuses to accept Pink’s idea. Then a man shows up, determines their paint is dry, and carries them back towards his home. The book ends here, but even my four year-old made the connection that the man was the creator of Yellow and Pink.

Again, it’s not an overtly Christian book at all, but I don’t just read Christian books to my kids (Dr. Seuss being a prime example). God is never mentioned, and the creative design idea isn’t fully discussed. We gave it 4.5 stars because the ending, although logically obvious to even very young children, did not explicitly explain the man’s role in regards to Yellow and Pink. This book did, however, present me with a wonderful opportunity to discuss the concept of creative design with my kids (ages 6 & 4) in a way that was simple enough for them to understand.

I definitely recommend this book to parents, teachers, etc! ( )

This is a great introduction on the subject of creation versus evolution. It's simple but engaging. As two wooden figures ponder how they came into existence, Steig raises questions and considers the plausibility of each as well. It ends with a bit of a twist and leaves the reader with a lot to think about. The book does not mention God, but it points to intelligent design. It ends with neither of the marionettes knowing who their Maker is. Quite a cliffhanger, but it gets students thinking. ( )

Yellow and Pink is a book about two wooden figures that come alive and ponder some very deep questions. They contemplate and create explanations for their existence and creation. Children may have a difficult time remaining interested in the characters and mature themes. ( )

Book is about a creative story of how things came to be. The characters, yellow and pink are questioning how they got there and became who they are today. They think they came from a storm, a broken tree, animals creating them, or they fell from a large hill and there just happened to be pink paint these are all ideas they came up with. This would be a great book for students to read and brainstorm with.
