What happens when you mix the colors yellow and blue? Watch as bunny goes from one pot of paint to the otherand finds out in this colorful tale. ( )

"White Rabbit's Color Book" tells the story of a white rabbit who encounters three tubs of pain: one red, one yellow and one blue. Rabbit starts off my jumping into the yellow tub and is satisfied. But before he jumps into the red tub, he forgets to wash off. Then Rabbit discovers that yellow and red make orange! Rabbit continues to jump into the other tubs and eventually makes green, purple, and brown.

"White Rabbit's Color Book" is a perfect introduction to the color wheel for young students. The simple language and simple plot is appealing to children. I like the fact that the illustrations have no background. In my opinion, this will help younger students focus on the science information rather than be distracted by overbearing illustrations.

One activity that could done with young students is to make a color wheel. Instead of being a standard circle, the wheel could be drawn in different shapes with my help. I would explain the color wheel as I have them paint a certain color and show them how to mix the colors. Another activity would include the students identifying the correct colors to mix. I would pass out construction paper to all the students that was red, blue, or yellow. I would ask the class, “If you can make the color purple, come to the front.” So the “blue” students and the “red” students would walk to the front of the classroom and make the color purple with finger paint. The process would repeat until all the secondary colors were created. ( )

preschool, Little Rabbit sits in different pots of paints, changing colors while the readers learn about mixing colors. ( )

Excellent children's book about primary colors and mixing them using an adorable white rabbit. ( )
