This book taught me how to read as a child. It's a wonderful story and perfect for teaching young children how to read. I bought it for my niece and she loves it!

Paintbox Penguins ~ A Book about Colors is one of my favorite children's books to use to introduce the science concept of mixing primary colors to make new colors. It is a delightful story about two penguins that live in an all white house until an aunt sends them a paintbox full of colors and they use them to make their house a rainbow house as they drip and mix colors to make new ones. In our preschool room we follow reading the book by using finger paint to mix the primary colors and let the children discover what new colors they can make. This is a lesson where we mix literacy with science to teach a new concept.
