Product Information

Meinen Schülerinnen und Schülern hat das Buch sehr gut gefallen und die Farbtänze der Mäuse sorgten für einige Lacher.

It could have been a bit more FUN for my taste but she has requested it three nights in a row so who am I to argue! Both parents and children alike will appreciate this lighthearted presentation of a lesson in color. Simplicity reigns in Walsh's brief tale, and a feeling of joyful discovery pervades her broad lines and expressive figures. LE: After the story you can take the children to the art center where you will have paper and finger paint ready for them.This story is probably best suited for babies and toddlers, but its humor will also appeal to the kindergarten and early-elementary ages. I like this book because of its simplicity, sometimes there are some concept books who are good teaching a subject but are way to complex so what is good about this book is that it uses white mice as the main focus and then has them dip in and mix paint to make new shades of colors. They washed themselves off to become white again and decided to paint on paper instead to create the newfound colors. When the mouse jumped in the red paint, I asked the kid to find the word "red", which I knew he could read; he found "blue" and "yellow" without being asked. This playful, lucidly-written fantasy about three mice will entertain and amuse young readers while introducing them to a bit of color theory.

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. ELLEN STOLL WALSH is the author and illustrator of many award-winning early concept books for young children, including Mouse Paint, Mouse Count, and the Dot and Jabber trilogy. I thought it was a little confusing because the of pictures displayed and the mice jumping in the puddles could be misleading to young kiddos.

But truth be told, I must admit to finding the inclusion by Ellen Stoll Walsh of a cat in Mouse Paint and how said feline is no threat to the three mice when they are white (because the cat supposedly is not able see white mice on a piece of paper) a bit ridiculous and problematic since Ellen Stoll Walsh really and truly does nothing with this.
