the color kittens by margaret wise brown

And suddenly Brush woke up and Hush woke up. And they dreamed that a green cat danced with a little pink dog till they all disappeared in a soft gray fog. Three! Of a purple land in a pale pink sea where apples fell from a golden tree and then a world of Easter eggs that danced about on little short legs. A wonderful dream of a red rose tree that turned white when you count to three. The kittens fell asleep in the warm dark night with all their colors out of sight and as they slept they dreamed their dream. Yellow, red, a little blue, a little black. Then the kittens got so excited that they knocked their buckets upside down and all the color ran together. Green leaves and red berries and purple flowers and pink cherries.

The little kittens were so happy with all the colors they had made that they began to paint everything around them. O wonderful kittens! O Brush! O Hush! At last, almost by accident, the kittens poured a bucket of blue and a bucket of yellow together, and it came to pass that they made a green as green as grass. Then they mixed red and blue together - and what did that make? It didn't make green. The kittens were delighted but it didn't make green. Then Hush mixed yellow and red together and it made orange. Brush mixed red paint and white paint together - and what did that make? It didn't make green. And they wanted green paint, of course, because nearly every place they liked to go was green. The buckets had the colors written on them, but of course the kittens couldn't read. Out of these colors they would make all the colors in the world. and buckets and buckets of color to splash around with. They liked to mix and make colors by splashing one color into another. Once there were two color kittens with green eyes, called Brush and Hush.
