Three playful mice dance, splash, and discover the wonder of color mixing—all while staying hidden from the cat.
Perfect for fans of Lois Ehlert and Press Here, this charming picture book gently explores the world of color and celebrates the joy of creativity.
One day three white mice discover three jars of paint--red, blue, and yellow.
But what happens when they splash in the colors, mixing the red and blue? Or dance in the blue and yellow? Thinking the jars are filled with Mouse Paint, the curious trio climbs right in until one turns red, one yellow, and one blue. A lively dance in a yellow puddle shows the red mouse that mixing colors makes bright orange.
When their fur gets sticky and stiff, the mice wash clean and paint the paper instead. This playful introduction to colors will appeal to any budding artist or curious preschooler.

Ellen Stoll Walsh is the author-illustrator of many popular books for children, including the successful Mouse Paint and Mouse Count books. She lives in upstate New York.
A gang of mice learns to mix colors and to count; the "naive charm and exuberance" of Walsh's cut-paper art helped earn Mouse Paint a spot among PW's Best Books of 1989. Ages 2-6; 4-8.
