A FIRST BOOK ABOUT COLOR

This was one of my favorites as a kid. As a budding young artist I was really excited by the colors in this book. And it teaches you how to mix colors!

ROSES ARE READ. ARE VIOLETS BLUE?
BY ALICE AND MARTIN PROVENSEN
A RANDOM HOUSE PAPERBACK
Copyright 1973 (this was before I was born so it must have had a long print run - maybe they'll bring it back!)












I loved this car crash scene at the end. If you put too many colors together you get mud! So true, so true.

    I loved this book, too. My grandma had this book at her house, and I read it often there. When she died, I missed this book, but found it years later at a library book sale. Thanks for the sweet memory!
