About the book
Midas wants
everything to be his favorite color—yellow! He chooses yellow clothes,
eats yellow foods, and uses only the yellow paint at his easel. But when
he impulsively paints his beloved green Dinoboo, Midas discovers that
too much of a good thing is a big mess! Joan Holub’s carefully crafted
text is brought to life by Leslie Patricelli’s famously humorous
illustrations. Includes a summary of the original Midas’s Wish myth at
the end.

Joan Holub tactfully describes a toddler's ability to brush all doll hair to avoid tending to their own tangled mop of curls. The look on the grandmother's face when she comes to visit Medusa makes me laugh out loud every time we read the book. What makes the Mini Myth books so irresistible is the combination of sparse, carefully chosen words with simple, brightly colored illustrations. The text and illustrations perfectly pair together, delighting even the most energetic toddler that normally will not sit still for reading time. I simply adore these books. There are four books in the series now, and my two-year-old treasures these books. They are a perfect fit for any two or three year-old child. They would also make a great baby shower gift. If you have a child that For more on the books in the Mini Myth series, check out my previous review of the first two books.
