The factory tour goes terribly wrong when some color sneaks into the barcode room. Can the mess be contained, or will they learn to appreciate a little color in their life?

The narrators of this book (a panda, a penguin, and a zebra) invite the reader into their factory, where everything is orderly, mess-free, and entirely black and white. But what happens when some color starts to leak into the pages?

This book is one of those interactive ones that invites young readers to shake the book, swirl it around, etc. to "move" the colors on each page. It is also very clever in its text and has an underlying message on how being a little messy from time to time (or, stepping outside of your comfort zone) can actually be a beneficial learning tool. I've shared this book with a variety of kids, from preschool to upper elementary, and it's been a hit with them all. ( )
