Wally the Little Walrus woke up on a bright, chilly morning. He waddled out of his cozy cave and blinked at the frozen world. Everywhere he looked, he saw blue, yellow, and pink glimmers dancing in the sunlight like tiny jewels hidden in the snow. "The ice is throwing a party!" he chuckled. Question: Which color does this shimmer look like most to you?

Wally waddled over to the edge of the water to find his friend Sophie the Seal. Sophie was resting on a patch of ice that was so smooth and shiny it looked like a giant mirror. Wally looked down and saw his own tusks looking back at him! Question: Have you ever seen light reflecting in a mirror?

As the sun climbed higher in the sky, Sophie’s soft fur began to glow a bright, golden yellow. Wally gasped in surprise. "Sophie! Look! You have a piece of the sun resting right on your back!" Sophie giggled and rolled over to let the warmth cover her belly too. Question: What color does the sun turn your hair?

Leaving Sophie to her nap, Wally saw Pip the Penguin walking toward a frozen puddle. Pip peeked down into the water and saw his bright orange beak and sleek black feathers perfectly reflected in the ice. "I look very fancy today," Pip said with a proud puff of his chest. Question: What else might be inside a puddle?

The afternoon sunlight began to shift, turning into a soft, rosy pink. As the light hit Pip’s white belly, he didn't look white anymore. He looked just like a big, fluffy ball of pink cotton candy! Wally reached out a flipper to see if his friend was sticky. Question: What fruit do you think of when you see the color pink?

Suddenly, Sky the Seagull landed softly on the ice. As she folded her wings, a deep, dark blue shadow appeared on the snow beneath her. Wally was fascinated by how dark the blue was compared to the bright ice. He tried to hop into the shadow to catch the color. Question: Isn't the sky very blue today?

Sky looked up and pointed her wing toward the far-off snowy hills. As the clouds moved above, the hills changed from bright white to silver and then to a pale, misty blue. "The world is a painting that never stops changing," Sky chirped happily. Question: How high do you think those hills are?

A white blur zipped past Wally’s nose! It was Toby the Arctic Hare. Toby hopped in big, energetic circles, and his thick white fur sparkled like a thousand tiny diamonds against the white snow. He was moving so fast he was almost a streak of light! Question: How fast do you think a rabbit can jump?

Toby stopped to rest near a large block of ice. In the late afternoon light, his snowy fur took on a beautiful, soft purple tint. Wally had never seen a purple rabbit before! "You look just like a big, fuzzy grape," Wally said, making Toby twitch his nose. Question: Is purple your favorite color?

Down by the water’s edge, the ocean began to bubble and churn. Suddenly, Bella the Whale surfaced with a mighty splash! She took a giant breath and sprayed a huge fountain of water high into the cold, crisp air. Question: Isn't it magical how the water stays in the air?

As the spray hung in the air, the sun caught the tiny droplets of water. A brilliant, glowing rainbow appeared right inside Bella's water spray! Wally was so amazed that his jaw dropped. He had never seen all the colors of the ice together in one place. Question: How many colors can you count in a rainbow?

As the sun began to set, the entire world turned a warm, cozy orange. Wally realized that the same light looked different on every friend and every surface. He closed his eyes, feeling very lucky to live in such a colorful home. Question: What color was your day today?
