Monsters Love Colors, written and illustrated by Mike Austin
This vibrant introduction to mixing primary colors to make other supercool colors stars a bunch of crayon-wielding monsters who love to mix, mash, squish, and squash. They also like to wiggle and dance, too. The red, yellow, and blue monsters roar and growl, and perhaps even eat a crayon or two. But most of all they love to join forces and turn their petite grayish monster pals into brand new colors. Austin's joyful scribbles fill the page as new colorful monsters--green! orange! purple!--emerge from the captivating chaos. Young readers pick up right away that the littlest monster is getting a bum deal, being ignored by its peers. However, a nice surprise ending finds that monster getting the mega color treatment it deserves! Pair this up with Alan Baker's great White Rabbit's Color Book and Ashley Wolff's lovely Baby Bear Sees Blue for a colorful storytime.
