Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2–A welcome addition to the series, this early chapter book presents the alligator couple in three new adventures. In "Lost and Found," Mr. Green can't wait to apply his detective skills to solving the mystery of his wife's missing jewelry. "Gumballs" shows him applying his estimation skills to try and win a gumball contest and the much-desired grand prize. Mrs. Green's stroke of genius saves her husband from embarrassment in "The Talent Show" and enables him to be a singing sensation. In this title, Mrs. Green seems a bit stereotypical, always calm and clever but satisfied to be the wind beneath Mr. Green's wings as he places himself in the center of the action. Plenty of playful illustrations accompany the action, and Baker's artwork captures the essence of his likable characters. Mrs. Green in her pearls and silly Mr. Green in his necktie are shown "floating through a gumball galaxy…without gravity" on one vibrant full-page spread as he dreams of winning the gumball contest. Another shows the pair sliding into a pool with their typical zest for life. Both characters are endearing and hopefully here to stay.–Gloria Koster, West School, New Canaan, CT

more fun with Mr and Mrs Green,
By
This review is from: Lucky Days with Mr. and Mrs. Green (Hardcover)
The alligator couple, Mr and Mrs Green are back in More Mr and Mrs Green and they are ready for 3 new adventures. In the first adventure Mrs. Green has lost pearls and it's up to "Detective" Mr. Green to find them.
What is 19x2x2x4x25=7,600 plus 317? It equal the number of jelly beans in the jar that Mr. Green wins in the guessing game in the second story. The last story is about a talent show that Mr Green enters. What did you like or not like about the book? My family enjoyed the bright illustrations. We have read the first 2 books in the series and were excited to see what The Greens were going to be up to in this third installment. Would you recommend this book? Why or Why not? The book is great for readers who are just starting to enjoy chapter books. The chapters are very short giving young reader the boost of confidence they need to enjoy reading.
