Product Description
Little Green Island is a book that teaches colors and color names to young children, but the lively rhyme goes way beyond basic red and green and blue to such interesting colors as azure and chartreuse and scarlet—which, when one is five years old, are fun colors to learn to recognize and fun words to learn to say. It will also help with reading comprehension because it is set up in rebus format, with little pictures inserted in the text to represent key words. The type, too, is enlivened with the key color words printed in the actual color they represent, and the key word "little," which comes up throughout the text, is indeed always little, and the tide pool at the end is shiny silver!
Author and illustrator Sharon Lovejoy is a summer resident of Maine, and the little green island in the story is modeled on the Maine coast islands she knows well, but this appealing book is also populated with an entertaining mix of animals, bugs, and plants (each with its own distinctive color, of course).
