B o o k s Pete the Cat and His White Shoes by Eric Litwin. Everyone's favorite cat in everyone's favorite story!  Lemons Are Not Red by Laura Vaccaro Seeger. It took me a few pages to pick up on the right rhythm for this: Page One: Read with astonishment: Lemons are not red. And then point out that this is a MAGIC color book and something is going to happen to that lemon when you turn the page. Turn the die cut and -- the lemon is yellow! The apple is red! Next page: Here is some blue grass. Wait a minute! Is the grass blue? Turn page. The grass is GREEN. The sky is blue.  : Wow! Said the Owl by Tim Hopgood. Owl stays up into the day to see --- COLORS! and WOW is what he has to say. If you have ANY talent with the paint brush at all, paint along while you talk. Vincent Paints His House by Tedd Arnold.  Amazing -- a readable book about Vincent van Gogh painting! Vincent had a French accent -- I don't know what the Dutch accent might sound like. Butterfly by Petr Horacek.

Dog's Colorful Day by Emma Dodd. Don't need artistic talent for this.  I photocopied the dog and drew spots on him. Don't Push the Button by Bill Cotter. I Ain't Gonna Paint No More  by Karen Beaumont
