When I teach color mixing, my 1st graders always enjoy this book. They don't realize they are learning because they are having so much fun! The children always want to read it again!

Out of all the books at the day care center I worked at, this by far was the favorite and most requested book of the kids. I don't know why, but whether the unit for the week was colors, animals, or Easter this book had to be read several times during story time and was often read just for fun. Surprisingly, none of we teachers ever tired of reading the book. The copy of the book at the center was read so many times that the back cover literally fell off. The book uses a white rabbit to illustrate how by mixing primary colors, secondary colors are made. Not only that but the book helps introduce children to "sensations" that colors can cause; for example white rabbit thinks dunking in blue will feel cool and that red is sizzling. A wonderful little book.

While the simplicity of this story may lead one to believe that it is for very young children only, my elementary-aged children refer to it whenever it is time to paint at our house. White Rabbit allows a child to determine just how to mix primary colors in order to make secondary colors, with a wonderful conclusion that when you mix ALL the colors together ( and what child hasn't done that before?) you wind up with a pleasing shade of brown. After viewing a rainbow of tempra paints at the store, we were not tempted beyond the primary colors because of our story of White Rabbit.

This book is very simple, very vivid, and very sweet. The little bunny's sweet, curious personality pulls you into the book and keeps young ones turning the pages. My daughter has enjoyed this book over the past year and a half and still pulls it out to look and point at the silly "bunny".

This is a great book for little ones. It is my baby's favorite book at this time. He is almost 13 months old and I can sit and read him this book over and over again and he is interested each time. He tries to read it himself! It's a cute book with great pictures and not too many words so you can turn the pages quickly keeping your child's interest and still read the whole story. I haven't read the other little rabbit books yet, but intend to get them all.

My two-year old likes the pictures of the adorable bunny as it bathes in the paint, showers, etc. I'm sure as she gets older she'll begin to understand the mixing of colors, which is presented so simply and delightfully here. I wish this were available as a board book, so adventurous painters don't have to worry about staining the pages if they read this while experimenting!

My mother got this for her preschool classes years ago and I haved loved it as a teenager and young woman. This is one of those books that makes me want to have children just to watch them enjoy. Its so very simple and yet brilliant. I could read this one to a kid dozens of times.

This is one of my favorite children's books, always on the tops list in it's categories. So simple in it's concept that kid's get what the book is about, but the illustrations and dialogue are very poetic, never too many words, just perfect. I could read this book for hours (which is a good thing since children often want to reread the same book multiple times). Cannot recommend this highly enough. Love the whole series, but especially this one. I wish I had written it.

I'm a preschool teacher and I used this book to introduce colors to my students. It's a must have for every early childhood teacher.

White Rabbit's Color Book is a simple, yet charming presentation of the color wheel. A curious white rabbit finds three tubs of paint; red, yellow and blue. "Sunshine yellow, she thought. Lovely. A quick dip and . . . " the book continues. After yellow, orange, and red, my children were able to predict what was going to happen next. The end was a surprise to them, and they were eager to attempt making the color white rabbit found to be "just right."
