Page 1
On the right side of the image, Red Dinosaur, Blue Dinosaur, and Yellow Dinosaur are flying downward from the sky in streaks of their respective colors, arms and legs spread wide as if diving toward the ground. Yellow Dinosaur has a cheerful smile, Blue Dinosaur looks calm and curious, and Red Dinosaur has an excited, toothy grin. Below them sits a grayscale suburban neighborhood with trees, houses, and rooftops — rendered entirely without color, as if waiting for the three primary-colored dinosaurs to bring color to the world.

Rex, Joy and Cal have one job. One big, big job. 'Paint the town!' Rex yells as the three dive down from the sky. Below them the town is dull. Dull, dull, dull. 'But wait,' calls Cal. 'Don't mix all three!'

On the left side of the image, Red Dinosaur stands facing forward with a fierce, determined expression — eyes narrowed and mouth open wide showing sharp zigzag teeth, as if roaring. The word "RED" is painted above Red Dinosaur's head. Behind and to the right of Red Dinosaur, a burst of bright orange and white suggests an eruption of hot lava or fire crackling in the air, reinforcing the page's theme of heat and power. The right side of the image is open, plain background suitable for text overlay.

Rex lands first. He must land first. 'I am red!' Rex yells, and hot flames rage beside him. 'Red is fire! Red is sunsets! Red is the best there is!' Rex flexes his arms. No one asks him to flex.

On the right side of the image, Yellow Dinosaur stands smiling cheerfully, surrounded by a warm yellow scene filled with sunshine imagery. A happy sun with a smiling face shines in the upper right corner, and small yellow flowers and butterflies dot the background around Yellow Dinosaur. The word "YELLOW" is displayed prominently in white text on the right side. The left ~40% of the image is left as a plain light background for text overlay.

Joy lands in a spot of sunshine and smiles a huge smile. 'I am yellow,' says Joy. 'Yellow like sunshine and happy, happy days!' A bug lands on her nose. Joy smiles wider. 'Can we start to paint now?' calls Cal from up high.

On the left side of the image, Blue Dinosaur stands within a large blue circular area representing a cool, calm lake, looking content with a gentle smile. Stylized plants sway gently below, and soft blue light fills the scene, evoking a peaceful, still environment. The word "BLUE" appears in white text above. The right ~40% of the image is a plain, light background with soft watercolor washes, left clear for text overlay.

Cal steps into a cool lake. No splash at all. 'I am blue,' says Cal. 'I am cool. And I am the one who reads the plan. Red with yellow is fine. Blue with red is fine. But don't mix all three!'

Page 5
On the right side of the image, Red Dinosaur stands in the upper right, looking excited with mouth open showing zigzag teeth, holding a small tube of red paint that has sent a swooping red paint streak across the page. Below, Yellow Dinosaur stands in the lower right with a cheerful grin, arms outstretched as if reaching toward the red streak, with a similar yellow paint blob trailing to the left. The background is a soft, pale wash with subtle floral shapes and paint splatters, suggesting a playful creative space. Several small anthropomorphic paint-tube creatures with tiny arms, legs, and faces are scattered around both dinosaurs.

Rex grabs a fat paint tube. He sprays a long red line up in the sky. Joy reaches up and grins. 'What will red and yellow make?' 'Wait and see!' yells Rex.

Page 6
On the left side of the image, Red Dinosaur and Yellow Dinosaur stand together at the bottom, staring upward with wide eyes and open mouths in amazement. They are surrounded by a large, vibrant burst of orange paint that fills the left half of the scene — the result of their two colors mixing together. The orange paint splash spreads upward and outward in a warm, textured wash, with splatters and speckles at its edges, while the right side remains a plain, light background. The overall mood is joyful and energetic, celebrating the color orange.

Sploosh! A big orange burst fills the sky. Rex and Joy gaze up, mouths wide. 'Orange!' they yell. 'We can make a new color!' cheers Joy. 'Yes,' says Rex. 'All that I make is grand.'

Page 7
On the right side of the image, a red paint blob and a blue paint blob stream toward each other like colors on a television screen, their trails merging where they meet — illustrating the mixing of red and blue. Red Dinosaur is leaping excitedly with mouth wide open in a big toothy grin, looking energetic and playful. Blue Dinosaur sits below, gazing upward with a calm, curious expression. The background is a soft, pale wash with faint silhouettes of plants and houses, and colorful paint splatters frame the edges. Several small white creatures with red crests are scattered around both dinosaurs.

'My turn,' says Cal. He sends a neat blue blob up into the sky. Rex leaps up to meet it with a big grin. 'Here it comes!' 'Take care,' says Cal. Rex does not take care.

Page 8
On the left side of the image, Red Dinosaur and Blue Dinosaur stand close together, gazing up in amazement with open-mouthed expressions at a large, vibrant cloud of purple paint that billows above them. The purple cloud — a mix of warm and cool purple tones — dominates the upper-left portion of the image with a splattered, painterly texture, and the word "PURPLE" is written in white within it. The right side of the image is a plain, light background with subtle warm-toned paint washes at the edges. Blue Dinosaur appears to be slightly behind and to the right of Red Dinosaur, both positioned in the lower-left corner.

Splat! A huge purple cloud blooms up high. 'Purple!' gasps Rex. 'Too much red,' says Cal. 'More blue will make it cool.' 'More blue will make it dull!' says Rex. Cal sighs a long sigh.

Page 9
On the right side of the image, Yellow Dinosaur stands with both arms spread wide and a surprised expression, while Blue Dinosaur sits below with a long neck craning upward and wide eyes. Between and around them, a yellow and blue paint trail swooshes across the scene from the left, with a yellow blob and a blue blob swirling together in the air. The background suggests a suburban neighborhood with faded houses and trees on the far left. Several small white cat-like creatures wearing tiny golden crowns are scattered around the two dinosaurs, appearing to celebrate.

'Our turn now!' Joy grabs Cal by the arm. A yellow blob and a blue blob swirl up high. Joy flings her arms out wide. Cal stretches his long neck up to gaze at them. 'Oh,' whispers Cal. 'This will be so fine.'

Page 10
On the left side of the image, Yellow Dinosaur and Blue Dinosaur stand together at the bottom, looking upward with curious, happy expressions at a leafy explosion of green paint. Yellow Dinosaur is on the far left, partially visible, while Blue Dinosaur stands just to the right, gazing up. The background is a painterly explosion of green — with splashes, speckles, and leaf-like shapes — blending warm yellows and cool blues together, evoking a messy, joyful art session. The green paint covers everything around the dinosaurs. The right side of the image fades to a plain, light background with soft pastel splatters.

Sploosh! Green bursts out. Green like grass. Green like a frog. Green like a leaf after rain. 'It is like sunshine and rain!' cheers Joy. Cal smiles. 'Yes. It is grand.' Then Rex grins a big, big grin.

Page 11
On the right side of the image, Red Dinosaur stands in the upper right with a mischievous grin, arms outstretched as if spraying red paint. Yellow Dinosaur is in the lower center-right, running energetically with a playful expression, spraying yellow paint. Blue Dinosaur is beside Yellow Dinosaur on the right, leaning forward with neck extended in an excited pose, spraying blue paint. All three dinosaurs are spraying their colors at once, creating swirling streams of red, yellow, and blue paint that mix into a wild, colorful cloud across the scene. The background is a soft, pale pink wash with faint gray silhouettes of buildings and trees on the far left. Several small figures in white, blue, yellow, and red are scattered around the right side of the image, watching and reacting to the color-mixing action.

'So,' says Rex, 'what if we mix all three?' Cal's face goes pale. 'No, no, no! Don't mix all three!' 'But what will happen?' asks Joy. 'No one can say!' yells Cal. 'That is why we must not do it!' Rex grins. Joy grins. They lift the paint tubes. 'Don't!' yells Cal. But his tube lifts up too.

Page 12
On the left side of the image, Red Dinosaur, Yellow Dinosaur, and Blue Dinosaur stand together in a suburban neighborhood, staring up in wonder with wide eyes and open mouths. They tower above the small houses and trees around them, with a vibrant, colorful explosion of every color imaginable filling the sky behind them — splashes of rainbow hues suggesting a spectacular, magical moment. A small cat sits near one of the houses in the lower-left corner.

They do it. Red, yellow and blue smash up high, and the sky goes bang! Colors with no names yet rain down on the rooftops and trees below. Rex, Joy and Cal stand still, gazing up with mouths open wide. 'We broke the rule,' whispers Cal. 'And it is the best thing I have ever seen.'

Page 13
On the right side of the image, Red Dinosaur stands in the center-right area with mouth open in an excited expression, stomping and dancing joyfully amid splashes and splatters of paint that splash everywhere. Blue Dinosaur peeks in from the upper right with a curious, wide-eyed expression, their long neck extending downward into the scene. The yellow dinosaur has paint dripping from their nose, and they are talking. The scene is a vibrant, messy paint-covered environment with bold splashes of orange, red, yellow, and dark paint covering the surroundings, conveying the fun chaos of color mixing. The left portion of the image is open white/light space with paint spatter. A dark bird-like creature is in the lower right, a brown creature with a crown-like hat is in the upper right, and additional small animal shapes are partially visible around the edges of the composition.

Rex stomps and jigs in the messy paint. Cal peeks down from up high, still in a daze. 'So,' says Joy, paint dripping from her nose, 'shall we do this all again?' 'Yes!' yells Rex. Cal starts to say a wise no. Then he stops. Then he smiles. 'I will get more paint.'
