I’m so glad you have the Color Kittens in the group! It’s one of my all time favorite books — the illustrations are surreal, the text trippy, yet somehow it’s addictive. It was a perennial when my kids were little.

Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni!

Yes! Another by Leo Lionni. Which is almost as trippy as the Color Kittens.
