Reach for this book when your toddler is starting to notice the vibrant colors of the world and needs a tactile, hands-on way to explore them. It is the perfect choice for those quiet moments of discovery when a child is transitioning from simple board books to more complex concepts like counting and color blending. Using Eric Carle's signature collage style, the book follows a pair of painters as they build a colorful rainbow cat. The interactive die-cut holes allow small fingers to trace the shapes and layers, making the learning process a physical experience. Beyond just teaching colors, it fosters a sense of creative wonder and helps develop fine motor skills. It is an ideal pick for parents who want to encourage both artistic imagination and early math readiness in a joyful, low-pressure way.
