Mouse Paint Board Book

Product Information

The intense levels of pigmentation used for all the paint bases gives an incredible depth of colour, whichever format you prefer using. The story ends with the three mice cleaning themselves off in the cat’s water dish and painting the paper instead. Mouse Paint was perfect for this kid, who told me that it is his destiny to be an artist: the pictures are simple, beautiful, and dynamic. 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. Perfect for fans of Lois Ehlert and Press Here, this charming board book gently explores the world of color and celebrates the joy of creativity.

I think the earlier you can interest small children in reading the better; books like this are the perfect to transition from being read to to reading on your own.Walsh's cut-paper collage illustrations have bold colors and just the right simplicity for the storyline. 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. Simplicity reigns in Walsh's brief tale, and a feeling of joyful discovery pervades her broad lines and expressive figures.

This environmentally friendly matt emulsion paint has a unique formulation, perfect for hard-working homes and public places. I liked that it taught her more about colors and that it encouraged interaction between the two of us while we read it. However, albeit that Mouse Paint is to and for me a three star book (as that cat textually not really doing anything except being kind of a placeholder so to speak is certainly more than a bit of an annoyance), well, obtaining and reading the 2010 dual language English/Spanish edition of Mouse Paint, yes, this does make me raise those three stars to a very solidly and appreciated four stars for Mouse Paint / Pintura de raton. Good story to read aloud with children, especially if you can engage them to guess what colors come next.Now the mice find puddles that they accidentally spilled and decide to dance each one in their own separate puddle. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. They first dive into the paint to color themselves, then splash in paint puddles and discover that primary colors, when combined, make new colors.
