Bookroo's summary

Midas loves yellow so much that he surrounds himself with it—clothes, food, and even his art. But when he paints his cherished green Dinoboo yellow, chaos ensues. Can Midas find balance before his world becomes a monochrome mess? Discover how a boy's colorful obsession leads to unexpected lessons in this playful twist on a classic myth.

From the publisher

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.
