Book Reviews of Mouse Paint
Book Review: Great book for teaching kids about color!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book! I use it as an introduction to Kindergarten and Early Childhood students for color! They especially get a kick out of the book when they see the last page, wondering what the cat will do!Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love, love, love this book. It is so cute and while it tells the story about the three mice, it demonstrates how mixing the primary colors together result in other colors. I highly recommend this book!
Update: There is a bit of a mess up in the color on one of the pages. I have the board book so it may only be in this version, but when the mice get in the paint, they are supposed to be blue, red and yellow. The red mouse however is orange, but only on this one page. The rest of the book is fine as far as colors go and it is still one of my favorites for teaching colors.
Book Review: Great for learning color mixing
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book for children learning their colors. It starts with three white mice that see three jars of paint, one red, one yellow and one blue. They start playing in the paint and their colors are changed. Not content with being red, yellow and blue, they enter paints of other colors and their color is changed to the mixture. Yellow feet in blue turn to green, red feet in yellow become orange and so forth. The illustrations are minimal, yet effective. I strongly recommend this for children learning how to mix colors to make new ones.Book Review: Great gift for a pre-schooler!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a super source of creative inspiration for young children. Start them out working with an adult or older child, and they will absolutely take off with creativity and use of colors!
There's hours of educational entertainment inside this slim volume!
Book Review: Laugh and Learn!
Summary: 4 Stars
We stumbled on this award-winning picture book by accident - but what a find! Three clever mice, illustrated by author Ellen Stoll Walsh in colorful cut-paper collage, discover three jars of "mouse paint." With childlike curiousity they dive right inside. And like children who can't resist splashing in puddles (mine included), the mice "splash" and "mix" and "dance" until they make a colorful mess. My daughters were already learning to identify colors. With Mouse Paint I was able to introduce the mixing of colors RED, BLUE, and YELLOW to create GREEN, ORANGE, and PURPLE - a concept they would not have learned until later.
