"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.

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.

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

This is a great story about a fluffy little white bunny that finds out the hard way what happens when you mix colors. This is a easy read and the children of course find it so funny seeing the bunny laying in different colors. Then amazed that if you mix 2 colors you make a new color. Age

I recall enjoying this, but not as much as some others with a similar concept. Awfully cute though, of course!
