A very good follow through story about primary and secondary colors. In this tale, Blue Goose, Red Hen, Yellow Chick and White Duck decided to paint their barnyard. A lot of ideas were put together.Throughout the story, participants during storytime followed through very well when asked to remember the different color occurances throughout the story. They answered correctly the simple activity afterwards. Overall, the book works very well in helping older preschoolers and younger kindergarten kids to understand, listen and think about their colors. My kids really enjoy this book, the youngest for the animals and colorful artwork, the oldest because of the color, story line, and the concept of blending colors to make new colors. There is a chart of colors and what they make when they are mixed together; she loves going through this. Blue Goose is a fun book for teaching children about colors.Something that I like about it is the joy that the animals receive from having created a beautiful surprise for their Farmer Gray by working together to paint and beautify their barnyard while he is gone. My girls love the "SURPIRSE!" part of the story as well. It's a fun book.
What do You think about Blue Goose (2008)?
Solid book of color mixing. I still prefer Mouse Paint but this is a great complementary title.

About colors - naming them as the birds paint things. Just didn't like it all that much.

A nice, simple introduction to colors. I used this is a baby storytime.
