The Color Kittens

Classic and beautifully illustrated.

The illustrations and story are so simple but so beautiful. My kids are 7, 5 and 2 years old and all of them enjoy it when I read this book.

great gift idea

I gave this book as a book donation to the children's home here in town. It was to be a Christmas gift. I always enjoyed the Golden Books Series. Wonderful pictures, and stories.

Color Kittens

I read the book when I was a child and I am giving it to my four year old niece for Christmas.

mixing colors

I bought a lot of the Golden books as I remembered them from my own childhood. I used this one with a three-year old. We read the story and then reread it stopping to mix colors just as the Color Kittens did. We have done it several times and he has enjoyed the experience each time.

Adorable & Timeless

A must-have for every pre-school child...sure to make them smile.

My all-time childhood favorite is back!

Like the other reviewers, I still had my battered, carefully taped original, the one I had my own father read over and OVER again! I've gingerly shared it with my kids, but now look forward to the new copy, as well as sharing it with others.

A MUST for children of all ages

I literally started crying when I saw this book in our local bookstore tonight. I love it! I've read my battered, torn, well-loved copy to my kids for years. I'm going to buy a bunch for the holidays and for the new babies we're expecting in our family next year! The illustrations are so beautiful, simple and yet so detailed. Even little ones who can't read learn their colors and love 'reading' the story outloud. I'm so excited this is out again!!!

An excellent book for all ages.

I read this book as a young child, and was always quite fond of it. Like many things from childhood, it was forgotten until recently. I was delighted to discover that this book is, indeed, in print. This book was one of the major formative works in my upbringing. Have *you* read it?

This is the best of Margaret Wise Brown

At last! This wonderful book is back in print (and with the original illustrations!) Our poor loose-paged Big Golden Book copy that is at least 35 years old probably has had a thousand readings. Our adult children (ages 35-45) all know its lyrical verses by heart. It was a clever way for them to learn the mixing of colors, but that was merely an added plus, because the charm of the pictures and the warmth of the poetry was what worked its way into the hearts of our family. Welcome back 'Oh wonderful kittens, oh Brush and Hush!' Our 2 year old grandson awaits you.

A Classic!

This is a charming story that people 40+ might remember from their own childhoods. The language is highly visual and poetic, and children will love learning about colors as well as following the adventures of Hush and Brush. This author also wrote 'Goodnight Moon,' and many other wonderful books for young children.
