Guinea Pigs Go Painting

Learn Your Colors

Discover your favorite colors with guinea pigs Bob and Ginger as they paint a mural on their bedroom wall.

Introduce first colors to young children, featuring beautiful illustrations and two fun-loving guinea pigs, Bob and Ginger, that kids will love.

Guinea pigs Bob and Ginger feel their bedroom needs a makeover, so they set about painting a colorful underwater mural featuring yellow fish, green turtles, gray sharks, and many more marine animals. Spot all your favorite sea creatures-and your favorite colors-in this sturdy board book, perfect for little hands.

Colors are introduced page by page, and all come together in the final mural. Simple text helps build a child's vocabulary and encourages recognition of key early-learning words. The fun-loving characters of Bob and Ginger will encourage children to return to the book again and again, both as a bedtime read and a learning tool.
