Mouse Paint Board Book

Product Information

An engaging story about some mice playing with paints and trying to stay away from a cat at the same time.

It is suitable for interior use on newly plastered or previously painted walls and ceilings, for a beautiful, durable finish that is both wipeable and gently washable. We've read this one a couple of times and our youngest was very proud that she could read it all by herself. I thought this could be confusing because a kindergartner could have a hard time distinguishing who jumped in the puddle and what color they made.Good story to read aloud with children, especially if you can engage them to guess what colors come next. One day, the cat takes a nap and the three little mice discover three jars of paint and climb right in.

Yes and definitely, I totally, I absolutely adore (and also do appreciate) how Ellen Stoll Walsh in her 1989 board book Mouse Paint (nicely small in circumference and as such perfect little hands, for toddlers to hold by themselves, on their own) with very simple mouse themed contents (with words) and delightfully expressive accompanying artwork introduces both the primary colours of red, yellow, blue and also demonstrates how mixing these then creates entirely different hues (that yellow combined with red makes orange, that yellow mixed with blue makes green, and that blue and red create the colour purple), with Mouse Paint presenting itself as engaging, with a lovely sense of both textual and visual fun, as educational without any kind of annoying didacticism and heavy messaging.Walsh's cut-paper collage illustrations have bold colors and just the right simplicity for the storyline.
