In this whimsical science and literature combo, you'll read a fun filled story and then experiment with color as you create your own Sharpie® pen tie dye T-shirt. Robert Munsch, one of America's favorite storytellers, tells the tale of how Brigid colors herself (and everyone else) with super indelible never come off till you're dead and maybe even later markers. Richly illustrated by Helene Desputeax, this book will satisfy every young colorist's dream. Combine the story with the magic of color science, and you have created a real learning experience!
