Brief Summary and How to Use With Students:
The picture on the page is colored perfectly, all except the barn. As you turn the page, you notice a chicken wanting to help, but accidentally spills the blue. This turns the chicken blue, the flowers blue, the ducklings blue, the cow blue, and you get the picture. If only now chicken could help turn things back into the color they should be.
This is a cute story for kindergarteners to help teach them their colors and also how to blend colors together to make new ones.
