Take one look at the wild and chaotic cover of this book and you can't help but be drawn to "Red, Yellow, Blue (And a Dash of White Too)" by awesome Tweeter and all-round art superhero Charles George Esperanza.
We start off by meeting an awesome little girl who is dabbling with her paints and paintbrush. A dash of red looks great, a big blue elephant (decorated with red and yellow stripes) is even better - but what happens when you start mixing those colours together?
What happens when you apply a dash of blue to a splodge of yellow? (An awesome frog appears - there's a clue!)

| We just LOVE the little girl's expressions in this story. She's just so HAPPY! Love her! |
Or perhaps our favourite, a great big glob of blue to a splish of red? (This has to be one of our favourite picture spreads in the whole book!)

| Yikes! A Purple Octopus!! |
We truly love books that feel like a wild rollercoaster journey. Charles has perfectly captured the effervescent enthusiasm of a child letting her artistic skills and her imagination fly. But what happens when she mixes all the colours together (with a dash of white for good measure?)
We'll let you discover that one for yourselves.
What a truly wonderful, colourful and celebratory book!
Charlotte's best bit: An awesome orange slam-dunk from a big bouncing basketball!
Daddy's Favourite bit: A joyous riotous celebration of colour and the wondrous vivid imagination of a child. Absolutely brilliant stuff Charles!
