Mouse Paint Board Book

Product Information

The story is about three white mice standing on a white piece of paper camouflaging themselves so that cat won’t see them. I don't like the constant insistence in our media to cast cats as villains in our culture, but I like the way it was just presented as a gentle fact that cats chase mice in this book. Perfect for fans of Lois Ehlert and Press Here, this charming board book gently explores the world of color and celebrates the joy of creativity.

Meinen Schülerinnen und Schülern hat das Buch sehr gut gefallen und die Farbtänze der Mäuse sorgten für einige Lacher.

Mouse Paint is a really good book that does a great job at teaching children about primary and secondary colors but its also very entertaining.

The intense levels of pigmentation used for all the paint bases gives an incredible depth of colour, whichever format you prefer using. An engaging story about some mice playing with paints and trying to stay away from a cat at the same time.

December 2015 update: Read this again while our youngest and our two-year-old niece were otherwise engaged playing with wooden puzzles in the board book section of our local library. For when in Mouse Paint the three mice start playing with and in the paint jars and become colourful and thus no longer white, the cat is then not shown by Stoll Walsh as suddenly noticing and trying to chase the mice, the cat just seems to totally disappear, leaving kind of an annoying textual thread going nowhere (which does not really bother my inner child all that much but certainly is a bit frustrating to and for my adult reading self).There is a misleading introduction at the start of a cat, suggesting that it will present some threat or action which never takes place. Mouse Paint was perfect for this kid, who told me that it is his destiny to be an artist: the pictures are simple, beautiful, and dynamic.

and therefore making Mouse Paint / Pintura de raton a simple and wonderful dual language book (and also a book that in my opinion would also work very well for introducing colours in elementary level Spanish language courses). I thought this could be confusing because a kindergartner could have a hard time distinguishing who jumped in the puddle and what color they made. It could also be used to introduce primary and secondary colors into an art project where students mix there own paint and color in white mice.We've read this one a couple of times and our youngest was very proud that she could read it all by herself.

This environmentally friendly matt emulsion paint has a unique formulation, perfect for hard-working homes and public places. But truth be told, I must admit to finding the inclusion by Ellen Stoll Walsh of a cat in Mouse Paint and how said feline is no threat to the three mice when they are white (because the cat supposedly is not able see white mice on a piece of paper) a bit ridiculous and problematic since Ellen Stoll Walsh really and truly does nothing with this. One day, the cat takes a nap and the three little mice discover three jars of paint and climb right in. The story ends with the three mice cleaning themselves off in the cat’s water dish and painting the paper instead.

This playful, lucidly-written fantasy about three mice will entertain and amuse young readers while introducing them to a bit of color theory. Children will catch onto the pattern with the authors repetitious words and the coaxing illustrations. Finally, they wash themselves clean (in the cat's water bowl) and paint the paper with all the available colors -- except for a section of white where they can hide from the cat.
