Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Mice, a rottweiler, an arachnid and a few other assorted critters make sturdy reappearances in five board book versions of picture books. In Ellen Stoll Walsh's Mouse Paint, ``three white mice on a white piece of paper" enjoy a colorful romp, while in Walsh's Mouse Count a similar gaggle narrowly escapes being served for dinner (Harcourt/Red Wagon, $6 each, 28p, ages 1-3 ISBN 0-15-200265-0; -200266-9 Sept.). Yet another mouse searches the animal kingdom for companionshipand finds an unexpected respondentin Eric Carle's Do You Want to Be My Friend? (HarperFestival, $6.95, 32p, ages 2-6, ISBN 0-694-00709-9 Sept.). The rewards of industriousness are celebrated in a second Carle title, The Very Busy Spider; its embossed web brings a tactile dimension to his familiar collage artwork (Philomel, $9.95, 26p, ages 2-up ISBN 0-399-22919-1 Aug.). Finally, the canine in question is Alexandra Day's beloved Carl, who takes charge of a crew of toddlers in Carl Goes to Day Care (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $5.95, ages 1-3 ISBN 0-374-31145-5 Sept.).
Publishers Weekly
A pair of oversize board books introduce classics to youngest booklovers: Let's Go Visiting by Sue Williams, illus. by Julie Vivas ("A cumulative counting tale bursting with frisky baby animals," said PW); and Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh (a PW Best Book of the Year). In the first, the child narrator introduces colors, numbers and animals, while the trio of mice in the second title use red, blue and yellow to demonstrate primary, complimentary and contrasting colors.

Children's Literature
It is not surprising that this book has won practically every children's book award—it is one of the most imaginative presentations ever on the subject of colors. When three white mice discover three jars of paint—one red, one yellow, and one blue—each climbs right in. The red mouse finds that if he steps in a yellow puddle and does a little dance, his paint puddle turns orange. And so it goes with the other mice as they create green and purple, respectively. But the mice must still return to their original white color so they can hide on white paper where the cat can't find them. This latest edition is a large format board book meant for lap sharing. 2006 (orig. 1989), Harcourt, Ages 2 up.

New to board book format, this is a book for young children that tells a simple story of color mixing and camouflage that has subtle concepts underneath. It is an amusing presentation of a lesson about colors that can be shared with children for a number of years. Both parents and children will enjoy the wonderful illustrations. 1995 (orig.

    Fun to read and discuss the pictures

    I have used this book for reading aloud to both groups of preschoolers and snuggle reading to one or two little ones. In both cases the children were fascinated by the story line and the way the pictures relate to it. With the individual child it can easily become a "read it again" book. It is fun to discuss the actions happening in the pictures and reinforce the idea of how colors combine. My 2 year old grandson would get up during the reading and dance with the mice as they mixed the different colors. He calls it the "Mouse Dance" book!

    A Family Favorite!!!

    My children have enjoyed this book for years! The 'board book' style makes it easy for small hands to explore and take everywhere, and even with three kids, it has held up extremely well. The illustrations are very nice and crisp, and the text is educational and funny. I intend to give this book as a baby shower gift since my family has enjoyed it so much. We give it our HIGHEST recommendation!

    I do not recommend ordering this book as a bargain book. Other than that, the book is okay.

    Here is the good and bad about this book. The good: It's a nice book that teaches young children about how when certain are mixed together, it forms a different color all together. The story line is very basic and not really interesting, but the book makes learning color mixing easier based on how the story is laid out. I would recommend this to young school age children learning about mixing colors but not for children younger than that but that's just personal opinion. Now here is the bad. I bought this as a bargain book. bargain books are suppose to be new books that sometimes have a slight remainder mark or stickers showing a discounted price. What I received in the mail was a book that was filthy dirty, pages that turned yellow and a remainder mark created with a thick black marker that is about 5 inches long. This book should of been put in the trash, not sent to a customer. I also had another bargain book in my shipment that was also in bad condtion and I am waiting for the balance of my shipment to come in to see the condition of those bargain books before I return them. I am never ordering bargain books again, it's not worth it the price no matter how low it is!

    Colors are taught to kids using mixing by three curious mice. Good for artists-to-be.
