The Color KittensBy Margaret Wise Brown
|
This classic book is being new republished and will be available to new generations of children. It is a cute story with charming illustrations that will not only teach young children about colors, but will be a great early reading book for older children.
If you're only familiar with Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny, this book is different, but just as enjoyable. Where as these two classics are wonderful books for toddlers and preschoolers, The Color Kittens is a more of an educational book for children 4 and up.
Many books on teaching children colors are simplistic and can be very repetitious to children. This book is not like that. Both the illustrations and the story line are charming and it will be enjoyed by young children time and time again.
The Color Kittensis the classic first book about colors - first published 50 years ago - now available in this beautiful gift edition for a new generation.
Blue is the door
That takes you through into
the world of kittens.
And so begins the story of Brush and Hush, the color kittens, who have "buckets and buckets" filled with different colored paints. They spend their days splashing the colors about and mixing them up, for "out of these colors they would make all the colors in the world." When the kittens realize that they have no green paint, they decide to make some by mixing other colors together. Soon they have almost all the colors of the rainbow - EXCEPT the color they most want! Can they find the right combination of colors to create green?
The Color Kittensis the classic first book about colors that many adults will surely remember from their own childhood. Margaret Wise Brown's charming, fun tale of Brush and Hush, along with Alice and Martin Provensen's bright, playful illustrations, offer children not only a first introduction to colors, but also show them how new hues are created.
