John is so excited with his new job.  He gets to paint windows, but there is one condition, he mustn’t drip paint on those walking underneath.  With the bucket of blue paint in hand, John gets to work.

It isn’t long before a grumpy man accuses John of dripping paint on his new hat.  John looks the man’s hat over and can’t see any paint.  Yet, witnesses come forward and agree that the hat is covered in paint and should be replaced.

John was so careful.  How could he have spilled the paint?  Why can’t he see it?

BLUE PAINT is a charming story; a perfect choice for your developing reader.  Illustrations are simple, yet appealing.  The story is easy to read and very entertaining.  My daughter read it with me and couldn’t wait to solve the mystery regarding the invisible/visible paint.  She said it is easily a book she would  read again and again.
