Summary: These three mice are trying to hide from a cat by staying against a white piece of paper. While the cat was asleep they found three jars of paint, red,yellow and blue. Each mouse got into the jar of paint and turned its self a different color. From there they began to mix the colors around so that they could make different colors. Then they washed them selves of so that they could still hide from the cat.

My reaction: My reaction was what a fun way to learn your colors. Also what a fun way to learn what colors make what and they did it all my accident so it was a great way to inspire experimenting with colors. This book was deminstrated really well by having most of the story be in the pictures with only so many words to describe what was happening in them.

Potential Problems:None

Recommendations: I would recommend this book to all children that are learning their colors. Its a great way of showing off the primary colors and it makes them want to explore other colors and what they could make with their imagination.
