About this deal

Both parents and children alike will appreciate this lighthearted presentation of a lesson in color. Meinen Schülerinnen und Schülern hat das Buch sehr gut gefallen und die Farbtänze der Mäuse sorgten für einige Lacher. December 2015 update: Read this again while our youngest and our two-year-old niece were otherwise engaged playing with wooden puzzles in the board book section of our local library. Yes and definitely, I totally, I absolutely adore (and also do appreciate) how Ellen Stoll Walsh in her 1989 board book Mouse Paint (nicely small in circumference and as such perfect little hands, for toddlers to hold by themselves, on their own) with very simple mouse themed contents (with words) and delightfully expressive accompanying artwork introduces both the primary colours of red, yellow, blue and also demonstrates how mixing these then creates entirely different hues (that yellow combined with red makes orange, that yellow mixed with blue makes green, and that blue and red create the colour purple), with Mouse Paint presenting itself as engaging, with a lovely sense of both textual and visual fun, as educational without any kind of annoying didacticism and heavy messaging. However, albeit that Mouse Paint is to and for me a three star book (as that cat textually not really doing anything except being kind of a placeholder so to speak is certainly more than a bit of an annoyance), well, obtaining and reading the 2010 dual language English/Spanish edition of Mouse Paint, yes, this does make me raise those three stars to a very solidly and appreciated four stars for Mouse Paint / Pintura de raton.

Simplicity reigns in Walsh's brief tale, and a feeling of joyful discovery pervades her broad lines and expressive figures. As an art teacher, I have read this book to hundreds of kindergartners over the years before teaching primary and secondary color theory.

LE: After the story you can take the children to the art center where you will have paper and finger paint ready for them.

I thought this could be confusing because a kindergartner could have a hard time distinguishing who jumped in the puddle and what color they made.Perfect for fans of Lois Ehlert and Press Here, this charming board book gently explores the world of color and celebrates the joy of creativity. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
