Green

Green by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

Summary - Illustrations and simple, rhyming text explore the many shades of the color green.

My Thoughts - Use this book to introduce new colors to children.  It would be perfect for use in an art classroom and also one on one with children to help them see more details in the world around them.  The pages have fun cut outs that let the reader glimpse what is coming next!  I am a fan of Laura Vaccaro Seeger's beautiful painted illustrations and was able to meet her a few years ago!  This newest title won't disappoint. In fact it is a winner of a 2013 Caldecott Honor Award!
