A strong, fun start with cute kittens mixing secondary colors from their many paint cans of primary colors gives way to a useless dream sequence and a weak conclusion. My daughter wasn't much impressed with it either when she was three. Not a lot of re-reads for this book. ( )

This is a fairly cute story about two kittens who make all the colors in the world. They have an extremely trippy, drug addled dream that includes Easter Eggs on legs. My son won't let me read the brown page for some reason, I think the goat freaks him out. ( )

The kittens have buckets of paint, which they are mixing on their quest to find green, and make “all the colors in the world.” I bought this because I remembered it very fondly from my own childhood. It’s a very endearing story, with lots of details and little poems.

"Sing Ho for the color of Brush
Sing Ho for the color of Hush
Sing Ho for the color of Brush and Hush
Sing Ho for the color of color
Now hush!"

After reading other reviews, I think the pictures some of them see are different from these. At least, I think, I'm missing at least one. The kittens here are neither blitzed" or manic, and there's not island with large bread and small huts.

but it's still a surreal creation myth with wonderful poetry. I love it and wish I'd known it when I was a kid, or when my sons were little.

"Purple as violets
Purple as plums
Purple as shadows
On late afternoons."" ( )

This is one of the earliest books I remember having read to me. It tells the story of two color-loving kittens who mix various colors to make new colors. I don't know why I found it so fascinating. I enjoyed the colorful fantasy worlds the kittens created with their new colors. ( )
