Product Description: When Farmer Gray takes a trip, Blue Goose, Red Hen, Yellow Chick and White Duck decide to paint their black-and-white farm. Red Hen paints the barn red and White Duck paints the fence white. Then Blue Goose and Yellow Chick pour their paint together to make green for the grass and trees. By the time Farmer Gray comes back, the whole farm is full of color--what a wonderful surprise! Incorporating primary and secondary colors, as well as animals, this is a simple and engaging way for young children to learn basic concepts.
Color mixing! This book was the perfect speed for my 3 year old son. Not too many words before you turn to the next page. And the colors are bright and clear. I was thrilled when I opened the book to see that it really gives me an opportunity to teach him about mixing colors.
Great teaching tool This is an excellent book for teaching both primary and secondary colors. It is simple enough that the kids( my 3 yr old class) can recite it along with me and can also problem solve as we go along.
Excellent buy.
A great book for a first grader Thiis book was perfect for my grandson whose favorite color is blue (the reason I bought it) and who is having a bit of trouble with the secondary colors. On top of all that, he was able to read it all on his own, which was an added bonus. When I ordered it, I could not tell what age the book was for. It is a perfect fit.
