Welcome to: A Book or Two: Children's Literature Reviews, a blog site that offers information on new, classic, and favorite children's literature, reviewed by university professors, classroom teachers, librarians, and those studying to become teachers. We hope you will find "just the right book" to share with others. Our goal is to keep the site updated with information about children's authors, book awards, and new releases. Each entry will include the book cover picture, a brief overview, bibliographic information, and suggested uses for families, librarians, and teachers. We will categorize books in several different ways, to facilitate searching.

Mouse Paint

Author/Illustrator: Ellen Stoll Walsh
Publisher: Harcourt
Publication Date: 1989
Genre: Fictional Picture Book
Reading Level: Kindergarten
Brief Overview: Three white mice dip themselves into paint. Using their own paint puddles, they create different colors.
 Activity Level: Kindergarten
 Integrated Idea: Students will work with paint to create a mini book of different colors. For example, they will paint and label the color blue on one page, paint and label the color red on another, and on the next page they will show how blue and red make purple by painting a blue circle and a red circle and having them meet in the middle.
