Blue over yellow, and the lion goes green. It's the sort of thing a toddler will do twenty times in a row, and fair enough — it's rather good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour sliders come with the book and they swap between the spreads, so every picture can be tried in every colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🎨 Colour mixing you can actually watch happen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTelling a small child that blue and yellow make green is one thing.
