Farmer Gray goes away and Blue Goose, Red Hen, Yellow Chick and White Duck decide to paint the farm. Duck paints the fence white. Chick paints the flowers yellow. Hen paints the barn red. And Goose paints the roof blue. Then they start mixing colors to get purple, orange, green, etc. Farmer Gray returns to his bright colored farm, and then in the evening Blue Goose paints a wash of blue over everything as it turns dark.
It was that final touch of painting twilight over the farm that took this book to another level for me. I loved the repetition of colors for the smallest children, the mixing of colors with the new color obvious to the eye of a child, and the richness of the hues being used. Tafuri's skill with simple lines in a picture book is evident here. Her illustrations burst from the pages, larger than life and with so few lines of text that the book is almost read in pictures alone.
Highly recommended, as are most of Tafuri's books, for toddler storytimes about colors. Children as small as two will enjoy spending time with these barnyard friends and chatting about colors and animals.
