Are you ready to shake and mix to make new colors? “Tap the gray spot…to see what happens.” With a turn of the page many colors appear for readers to mix. Simple blobs of color and simple instructions on uncluttered pages creatively present color mixing.

Simple instructions begin: “press [the yellow dot on a white page] here.” Dots whirl and swirl on each page for a creative and playful interaction between book and reader.

If your finger is placed on the small blue dot, say “oh.”  If it’s on a big blue dot, say “OH!”  Imagine what happens when there is a series of blue dots! Blue, red, and yellow lines and dots dance across white pages encouraging sounds and gleeful play in this inventive participatory book.

Putting yourself into the center of a book can be done literally. Black/white illustrations, minimal text, and a large hole encourage active participation in this unique book.
