Summary: 5 Stars
Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh is one of the more treasured books around my house. It tells the story of three white mice who jump into three jars of paint, get themselves soaked with paint, drip it on the floor, and then jump in the puddles to dance around and, in the process, make new colors. The illustrations are done by collage, and they are very happy and whimsical. It's a great way for children to learn their primary colors, and how mixing two colors together produces a third. Plus, it introduces the idea of camouflage, when the white mice hide from the cat by huddling on a white piece of paper. I know that some of the concepts in this book may be suitable for a four year-old (i.e. such as camouflage, or the mice who wash themselves by jumping into the cat's water bowl), but we've been reading it at a much earlier age. My three year-old loves the cute mice, and their funny antics as they jump into jars of paint, and dance around, getting all dirty in the process. The baby is drawn to the jars of primary colors, and the colorful mice who dance around the page. This is one of those books that you will read at various stages in your child's development, and at each age, will get more and more out of it.Book Review: Thoroughly enjoyable
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 5 Stars
A great book for teaching colors, this creatively constructed (simple yet effective) anti-story is a nice little addition to any child's library. When three mice get into some paint they discover a world of color and so do the kids who read this book. Starting off with your basic Red, Yellow and Blue; these three white mice build on that base, showing your kids how mixing colors can create even more colors. It's a great learning experience, and it is super cute!
