Blue Chicken is a cute little book about a painting and a chicken in that painting who just wants to help paint the barn. The chicken gets into the blue paint and spills it all over the painting turning the other animals blue! And they are mad. Can this little helpful chicken fix things?
I think that is a creative book that has great watercolor artwork. I think that this book would be great to read to children in class and talk about mistakes. In the book [SPOILER] the chicken is able to fix the problem and I think that a teacher could use this to spark discussion about problem solving.
I also think that the book could be used to show how to use different shading in painting. The blue shades used can be pointed out and a teacher can point out the technique and model it. The drawing of the animals is also really cute and I think it would be a hit for children in kindergarten through second grade.
This book looks really cute, I was wondering if most of the illustrations are done in a blue hue, like my book the blueberries. I like your idea about talking about the different hues and using this book to help teach the different colors, I would of never thought of that.
