Mama Penguin has named each of her six children for a different-colored flower (Violet, Bluebell, etc.). After the kids decide to surprise her with a painting on the snow, each wields a paintbrush with his or her signature color, resulting in a flower garden topped with a rainbow. As a colors primer for preschoolers, the book works, but it's limited by its traditional six primary- and secondary-colors palette.
