Concepts in this story include days of the week and colors.
We're having an "Alice in Wonderland" Tea Party Story Time today. Before sharing this story we...
reviewed Alice’s Adventures using Robert Sabuda's pop-up Alice, stopping at the page featuring the tea party. We invited the children to name the guests with us and ended by talking about the sleeping dormouse. Then we sang...

Mud Pies (brown), popsicles (purple), markers (yellow), lipstick (red),grass (green), and blueberries (blue) make colorful kid tea (in the bath)all the days of the week. Kid Tea has fun illustrations with brightly colored scenes throughout.
Used for "Got Milk?, Got Water?, Got Juice?" storytime-April, 2010.

This book's got colors and days of the week--great for preschoolers. The story groups I observed with this book loved it. Each day of the week the kids do different activities and then end up turning the bath water the color of whatever grime they got on them that day.

A very colorful, bathtime tale that introduces kids to colors and the days of the week... with very accurate portrayals of some of the messes kids like to get into. Cute, fun read for storytime. It almost invites you to "sing" along with it as you read.

I found myself singing the text in this book which accentuated the cute funny illustrations of a brother and sister describing things that are all one color and then asking to, "Dunk me in the tub, please for purple(color) kid tea!" A fun real-a-loud book!

This is a very fun book that I discovered last year. The kids in story time love it and as a parent I get a kick out of how true the book is. Everytime a kid takes a bath he/she makes an unusual kid tea color. Good reading.

Great use of colors and labeling the days of the week. Plus, I just love saying "Lick and slurple, melting purple." Will be using this for a color-themed storytime, but it would also work with a bathtime storytime.

This got good laughs from the kiddos. Erik liked it a lot, and Madeline thought it was funny, but hasn't pulled it out to re-read.

Wonderful to read aloud. Also exposes kids to both colors and the days of the week. A fun read!

Cute bathtime story for baby or toddler time. Great read aloud and fun illustrations.

Rhythmic strings of percussive rhyme and a reliably repetitive refrain give this colourful celebration of the simple joys of summer the begging-to-be-memorized-and-shouted-out feel of a classic skipping song.

My girls came home from Kindergarten with a reading list for the fall, and this book was on it. The author associates each day of the week with a color as well as a kid activity. Quite cute!
