Art and literature are essential components of a child's education that encourage creativity, self-expression, and abstract, critical thinking. These skills, in turn, help a child excel in math, science, reading, and drama. However, traditional educational settings often destroy a child's innate self-esteem and creativity. Art and Children is an indispensable aid to educators and librarians interested in helping young children achieve their artistic and creative potential. This teaching aid provides thematic, unit-based activities that use art and literature to develop skills such as interpretation, self-expression, critical thinking, experiential learning, and problem solving. Accompanied by numerous examples, it offers step-by-step suggestions on how to plan, implement, and present these units and their related activities. Addresses of art suppliers are also provided.

A beloved 1962 Little Golden Book about colors (and not just primary ones) is back in print! "I like the way the sky is blue, And I like orange oranges, too. But I LOVE mixed-up colors best— A baby robin's speckled breast, Blackish dots on greenish frogs, Rainbow beetles under logs." This poetic look at colors, told in simple rhyme, celebrates not only primary colors, but "colors all mixed up!" Cheerful, elegant rhyme teaches about stripes, sparkles, and spots on adorable animals and in beautiful landscapes. Noted illustrator Leonard Shortall's lush illustrations of adorable animals and children will once again captivate little ones.
