The book The Color Kittens is about these two kittens Brush and Hush together they are the color kittens. The color kittens love to make different colors, and they love to paint everything with these different colors. The lesson that this book teaches is how to identify the different colors and what colors to mix to make even more. This book is for ages two through five. The reason that this book is for ages two through five is because those are the ages that kids are learning their colors. I think the book was good because it teaches kids their different colors. I t also teaches what colors you need to mix together to make more colors. Which I think is important for kids to learn at these ages. I personally enjoyed the book when I was younger and now that I older.

My 4 1/2 yr old son says that this is his favorite book right now. I also remember having this read to me as a child. We've owned it now for a couple of years, and I never get tired of reading it over and over. Definitely one of our better children's book purchases.

I had forgotten all about this wonderful book. I just came across a copy in the library, and it brought tears to my eyes. I took it back to my office and made all my co-workers listen as I read. I cannot convey the joy that is in my heart. I have found my long lost kittens.

Kittens mixing paints to create every color in the world -- what a sweet image! This lovely book opens up the world of color for little kids, in a sweet and delightful way. I loved this book when I was small, and I am so glad to see that it is still available to kids of our next generation.

Sweet book. Nostalgic illustrations. Notice the "emotion" of the reviews!

This is the first book I can recall reading all by myself. "The Color Kittens" brought me such joy that thirty years later I can still feel it. The illustrations are vivid in my memory. My son is thirteen months old and loves books. I am thrilled to have found "The Color Kittens" so we can share the experience again together.

I can't believe I have finally found this wonderful book again. It was my absolute favorite as a child-I never got over those kittens! I was heartbroken not to have it for my older daughter and so pleased that I am able to get it for my second and third little girls. I am decorating their room by matting and framing the pages and will read it to them as much as they'll let me. Truly, it is a wonderful book for teaching kids about color mixing but the old fashioned illustrations are timeless and just so sweet. I am buying many copies: for us, our daughters' preschool, and to save for my granchildren-in case it ever goes away again. Why Good Night Moon and Run Away Bunny have staying power and the Color Kittens didn't is just beyond me. Buy it!

I remember this as one of the books that inspired me to become an artist. The wonderful adventures of the two curious kittens playing with mixed colors has stayed with me since my childhood. I may just buy this book again and remember all the wonderful memories it gave to me.

This is our family's all-time favorite. My brother and I grew up with these kittens and my 40 year old brother's first phrase was "pink as a rose and a baby's nose". I bet we wore out 10 of them before we were grown.

At Last! A reissue of this outstanding book, and most importantly, with the original illustrations! This book cleverly incorporates the concept of color mixing, but the lyrical verse and captivating pictures are what made it a part of our family's fabric. (our 4 adult children are now ages 35-45 and still remember every word) I had about given up ever finding it again. Our family copy, which is well over 30 years old, has been loved to loose paged pieces. This is just in time for our newest two year old grandchild, and I am getting multiple copies, JUST us case it disappears again! Oh wonderful kittens, oh Brush and Hush!
