great book of colors
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a beautifully illustrated book with simple prose, vivid colors, & a simple variety of farm-type birds. My toddler loved it from the first time we read it, he was just under 1-years-old & he still occasionally pulls it off the shelf at 3 3/4-years-old. This would make a great gift for anyone with a very young toddler.
Great for young children!

One of my favorite books from childhood is the Golden Book, "The Color Kittens," and I chose "Blue Goose" because it reminded me of my old favorite. As a child I loved the idea of the kittens mixing paint, and I think this modern book will have the same appeal for today's young children. I know several adults who name "The Color Kittens" as their childhood favorite, and perhaps "Blue Goose" will be a favorite for a new generation.
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.
