White Rabbit's Color Book

"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 show more 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. show less

I have fallen in love with the Little Rabbit Books! This book about colors is a lot of fun because the rabbit discovers mixing colors by getting into them, so it'd delightfully messy which kids would love! It would be a great introduction to a unit on colors where kids got to mix fingerpaints together.

White Rabbit’s Color Book by Alan Baker is a great book about the primary colors and what colors mix to make secondary colors. Although it doesn’t talk about “primary” and “secondary” colors specifically, it shows a white rabbit getting into a red bucket of paint, then into a yellow bucket to create the color orange. And this continues until all the colors have been mixed with each other. I thought this was a very cute book. It teaches the colors in a different way that is fun and enjoyable to read. It has exclamations and question marks to introduce new punctuation and is a simple read for young children.

Part B/beginning/concept (color)

This story talks about a cute little white rabbit who goes on a colorful adventure with experimenting different colors in tubs of paint: yellow, blue, green, red, purple, orange, brown. While the rabbit learns different colors, he also experiments mixing two colors to come up with another color. For instance, readers learn that when blue and red are mixed together, we get the color purple. The illustrations are colorful and vibrant; the rabbit is simply adorable. Although there is no background throughout the story, it is the color of the rabbit and the tubs of paint that are the focal points of the story.

Baker tells the tale of a mischievous rabbit who decides to dip into tubs of different colors of paint. White rabbit being white, dips himself into yellow, “sunshine yellow” and he thought is was “lovely”. He stays yellow and finds a tub of red and changes to brown. He goes though many colors and decides that the mixture of blue, yellow and brown are just the color for him, brown. This book shows how colors mix and make different colors and how being a different color is “just right” for him.

This book follows the adventures of a white rabbit as he discovers what happens when colors mix. I like this book because it has bright images that help children to see and understand the difference between primary and secondary colors. This book was a big book and had only a few words on each page, however the word were unnecessary because the book would have made just as much sense without the words. It was a good book to understand how mixing different colors make other new colors. The illustrations were simple and not distracting. Everything in the book was very straight forward.
