From pencils, markers, and paint art will be made. Two colors mixed can make a different color! Remove the transparent screen and find out what two colors make. This ryhming book is great to show children when teaching about colors. This shows the children how to mix colors. This would be a great book to start the first day of art class. ( )

Nifty bit is that it has transparencies with each of the three colors (plus black?) that are used for printing color illustrations. ( )

From back cover: Enter the world of color printing, where colors do magic tricks whenever they blend or combine or mix. Discover how illustrations are made with only four colors printed in tiny dots on white paper. Look at an illustration like you've never seen it before--one color at a time. The transparent pages in this book show you how yellow, magenta, cyan blue, and black combine to make all the colors of the rainbow.Color is magic, no doubt about that!

From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3?A rhyming text gives some general information about color, but is mostly geared to explaining the concept of commercial color printing?dots of yellow, magenta, cyan blue, and black blend to create the illusion of a full spectrum, etc. The rhyme is a bit for forced as it is broken up by pages illustrating concepts. Two sections of plastic overlays effectively demonstrate changes that occur when colors overlap/blend. The book is more visually appealing and fun than informative, and could be useful to children studying how a book is made.?Alexandra Marris, Rochester Public Library, NY
