I was thrilled that my beloved childhood book is still in print 60 years later. This is a wonderful, poetic and colourful story that my own grandchildren adore. It is their favourite bedtime story.
The two little kittens, with their buckets of colour, mix and make all the colours in the world. The pictures are enchanting, and, dare I say, educational, as my grandchildren get out their paints and practise the colour mixing themselves. Add to that the poetic writing of Margaret Wise Brown, and you have the perfect story for young children.
