Illustrated by
Henry Cole.
One rainy day, six warthogs decide to paint. Starting with the primary colors, they splash arcs of color on their kitchen wall. They don't watch what they're doing, and soon the paints spill and blend together. This boisterous introduction to mixing colors is told in unremarkable rhyme and accompanied by amusing illustrations in ink, colored pencil, and watercolor.
