It's called the Painting-In Book, it's written by Anna Rumsby, and it is just a fun book... meant to teach young children about paint and how to use it.
Book Synopsis:
Can you give the gorilla a jungle to hide in? Can you create some honeycomb for the bees? And can you mix up some delicious flavors of ice cream?
Create paint masterpieces with nothing more than your poster paints and Anna Rumsby's entertaining activity pages. A great big book of painting fun!
Also contains an introduction to mixing colors and simple, easy-to-copy painting techniques.
My thoughts:
This is such a neat little book. 64 pages filled with one sided sheets to help young children express themselves with paint, learning to mix colours, and use differing paint techniques.
Can you give a dog some long hair?
The instructions on each page are written clearly and simply.
I am not sure if it is the copy that I received, but the pages pull out very easily. This makes it easy to pull individual pages out in order to let your little artist create, and later display.
If you have young children, and want to let them show their artistic side and learn a few things while doing so, this book will work for you. If you KNOW someone with young children this would make a great gift, along with some washable paints.
