When I was growing up, there was one book in particular that I was incredibly obsessed with. The title is, Mr. Paint Pig by: Richard Scarry. Once I could read it myself, I would read it to my brother and sister. It's a picture book and the illustrations are so so so cute. I recently found this book again and it is pretty much fallen apart because of how many times its been read. This book is used to teach children the colors and how to spell them as each page has a new color in a paint can and Mr. Paint Pig paints something with that color (sometimes he just uses something that is that color instead of painting)....Red - he paints an airplane and a fire engine.
Orange - he paints a bus. He doesn't have to paint the oranges, as they are already orange.
Yellow - he paints nothing yellow since the sun and flowers are already yellow.
Green - he paints a locomotive and a watermelon truck green and then eats a green pickle under a green tree while a green frog hops around.
Blue - he paints a boat and then he falls into the blue water.
Purple- Oh no! Mr. Paint Pig's paint truck hits a grape truck and there is purple paint and purple grapes all over the ground.
Brown - he paints a tractor, and while he is painting, Farmer Bear shovels brown dirt into his brown wheelbarrow.
Pink - he brings Mrs. Paint Pig, who is wearing a pink dress, a bouquet of pink roses when his work is done.
White , Black and Gray - Mrs. Paint Pig in her white dress and Mr. Paint Pig in his black suit go for a ride in their gray car.
The colors in this book are just so vivid and fun, I could never put the book down.
