Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2–Mr. and Mrs. Green are back in another series of short and sweet stories. Here, the alligators practice magic tricks, indulge in some cookie snacking, and create a couple of wacky yet useful inventions. The stories will appeal to newly independent readers ready for a bit of a challenge; they are well paced and full of humor (particularly the droll asides), and illustrated in a lively and bright cartoon style. Readers who enjoy James Marshall's George and Martha books (Houghton) will find this couple's antics to be great fun. Baker's playful language, particularly Mr. Green's list of magic words as he tries to make his wife reappear, demonstrate that a great storyteller is not limited by an easy-reader format.–Maura Bresnahan, High Plain Elementary School, Andover, MA

From Booklist
PreS-Gr. 2. In the fourth beginning chapter book about Mr and Mrs. Green, the loving alligator couple has fun with magic tricks (he makes her disappear, then panics because he can't get her back); with baking and eating cookies; and with wild inventions (including a slicing machine and a sun scooter). The bright acrylic illustrations, with lots of green and purple coloring, add to the action, whether it's cozy or wild, and show the bond between the two gators. Kids will recognize the imaginary play with someone close; they'll also like the funny knock-knock jokes on the back cover. Hazel Rochman

This review is from: On the Go with Mr. and Mrs. Green (Paperback)
The Greens are charming, and my kids and I love these books. A bit different in that they are about a married couple (think the Nick and Nora of the swamp set), I only wish there were more of them!

This review is from: On the Go with Mr. and Mrs. Green (Hardcover)
I purchased this book, along with the other Mr. and Mrs. Green books in the series for my son when he was 4 years old. He is now 5 and 1/2 and still loves these stories! We read one story a night and he always picks on out of these books. I personally enjoy them too. There is humor and it's so sweet how the couple is always so happy to be together.
