Another wonderful book by yet another great artist is "Why is Blue Dog Blue?" by George Rodrigue. This book looks like a book for younger children but it uses higher order thinking to challenge the kids about the names of different colors.

Here are just a few of my favorites.
The kids were inspired and created their own blue dogs in all sorts of colors. I have to admit, I had fun painting too. (I am certainly no artist though.) Here are my examples:
