This collection of Stories About Colours explores how colours play a key role in various adventures. The stories feature a range of characters, from children to animals, engaging with the world through vibrant colours.
In The Big Balloons, Andy and Dick visit a toy shop, choosing red and blue balloons, only to have them pop simultaneously as a policeman arrives. Uncle Wiggily Painted His Bungalow follows Uncle Wiggily, who is tricked into using green paint instead of red, leading to a chase with an alligator that is thwarted by a clever paint distraction. The Water Bloom tells the story of Harper, who learns about the rainbow after a summer shower, with her father explaining its natural formation. In The Nest of Many Colors, Mr. and Mrs. Oriole build a nest with colourful materials suggested by children, resulting in a beautiful and unique creation. These stories demonstrate how colours shape the characters’ experiences and the world around them.
