There is a strong teaching in the text and illustrations about how cooperation leads to great results. This story teaches the young reader two important lessons. First, it helps the child understand how the primary colors interact to create many new colors. This is a great teaching tool as our young readers begin exploring art. Secondly, it teaches the child the importance of working together with others and how working together helps us create something that is even better than we originally expected. To help teach these points, the story uses bold, colorful, and fun illustrations.
