About the Book

Warthogs Paint: A Messy Color Book is a clever rhyming book that teaches children about primary and secondary colors.

These fun-loving warthogs have a blast on a rainy day, painting their kitchen wall. The warthogs begin painting, quite messily, I might add, with just primary colored paints. But the warthogs soon discover that by mixing certain colors, they can make other pretty colors. Before long, the warthogs have painted a beautiful rainbow, and your preschooler has learned all about primary and secondary colors!

From the Reviewer - Stacey Lloyd

Warthogs Paint: A Messy Color Book is a wonderful way to teach your preschooler about primary and secondary colors. The exuberant colors on the white background keep your eyes on the messy matters. The rhyming makes the book fun to read, and the story is quit cute. It held my son's interest and is requested often at bedtime. Warthogs Paint: A Messy Color Book is the perfect book for preschoolers who are learning their colors, and older children who know their colors, but have not yet learned about primary and secondary colors.

My son and I give Warthogs Paint: A Messy Color Book four out of four messy warthog painters!
