The Color Kittens

by Margaret Wise Brown

For ages 2+ years

Two green-eyed kittens who slosh around great big buckets of paint making all kinds of messes - what more appealing heroes could we ask for? The color kittens have only yellow, red, and blue paint, but what they really want is some green. So the kittens mix their paints, and Margaret Wise Brown mixes her lovely prose with a touch of poetry in order to teach young children the basics of color theory. In the end, the kittens learn to make not just green but also pink, purple, orange, brown, and "all the colors in the world."

$2.99

I must say, I find the rhythm of the prose in the book a little weird. I do, however, love the art, it's so bright and retro-looking. I think it taught my daughter the concept of mixing colors even more than using paint did. As a cat lover, too, I like the purring and pouncing kittens!

Such a fun book! My daughter loves the fun illustrations and the idea of kittens mixing colors just delights her! It's a great book for opening up their imaginations with ideas of how to make green and have silly dreams. We love this one!

Two mischievous kittens learn all about mixing colours in this Golden Book classic by Margaret Wise Brown. These felines may not know how to read, but they know how to make a beautiful mess. I love the poetic style of the book, and my daughter loves all the trouble the kittens cause - it's win-win all around.
