this book is about mice who discover different colors by mixing them. It includes colorful illustrations, fun humor, all with an educational focus. I think this book would be a good one to use when teaching students about colors.

Three white mice find three jars of paint - red, blue, and yellow. They jump in and out, dance in the puddles, and discover some amazing things - things like green...and orange...and purple. Yet, they never forget about the cat.

Kids LOVED talking about mixing colors! It's a great example/way of sharing primary colors and also about camouflage.
