* Book prominently features diverse characters: Yes, the main character is a very lively and active African American preschool-aged girl, with a skin color that matches the author/illustrator's.
* Book would work for a preschool storytime: I think so, though I would caution the reader to read it through once before storytime, as some of the text placements are a little unexpected. The rhythm of the text is such that I keep thinking it will rhyme, and when it doesn't rhyme it throws me off just a bit--so yes, a pre-readthrough is necessary. The illustrations are exceptionaly vibrant and attention-grabbing, so no problems there. I have not tested this with an actual preschool audience, but suspect some kids might be distracted by all of the animals and action going on (I can picture them wanting to comment on everything, which would maybe make this work better as a one-on-one reading for some kids), while veteran storytimer kids will just take it all in and enjoy a vibrant story.
* Book would fit with the "colors" theme. Or possibly an "animals" theme, but it is mostly a color-concept book, with the mixing of primary colors plus the creation of pink (white red) and greenish gray/grayish-brownish (all the colors together).
