5.0 out of 5 starsIt's not that easy writing Green
By E. R. Bird HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on April 12, 2012
Format: Hardcover
Sometimes you just want to show a kid a beautiful picture book. Sometimes you also want that book to be recent. That's the tricky part. Not that there aren't pretty little picture books churned out of publishing houses every day. Of course there are. But when you want something that distinguishes itself and draws attention without sparkles or glitter the search can be a little fraught. We children's librarians sit and wait for true beauty to fall into our laps. The last time I saw it happen was Jerry Pinkney's The Lion & the Mouse. Now I'm seeing it again with Laura Vaccaro Seeger's Green. I mean just look at that cover. I vacillate between wanting to smear those thick paints with my hands and wanting to lick it to see if it tastes like green frosting. If my weirdness is any kind of a litmus test, kids will definitely get a visceral reaction when they flip through the pages. I know we're talking colors here but if I were to capture this book in a single word then there's only one that would do: Delicious.

Open the book and the first pictures you see are of a woodland scene. Two leaves hang off a nearby tree as the text reads "forest green". Turn the page and those leaves, cut into the paper itself, flip over to two fishies swimming in the deep blue sea. A tortoise swims lazily by, bubbles rising from its head ("sea green"). Another page and the holes of the bubbles are turned over to become the raised bumps on a lime. And so it goes with each new hole or cut connecting one kind of green to another. We see khaki greens, wacky greens, slow greens and glow greens until at last Seeger fills the page with boxes filled with different kinds of green.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsSeeing Green
By E. C. Whitaker on April 21, 2012
Format: Hardcover
This is a truly fantastic book for children. I am a Children's librarian and before this, I was a Commercial Designer. My experience has been that children rarely think in "shades of color". They usualy think of primary colors. If you ask them what color they want their room painted, they say "blue" or "pink", not a shade of those colors. This book not only shows and names of the shades of the color green, but tweeks a child's imagination to think in "shades" of every color. I will not only use this book for storytime in the library, but I will bring it to pre-school and elementary school visits. I will read it to children up to the third grade. After showing this book to my 4 year old granddaughter, she picked up a leaf and said, "Oh, grandma, this leaf is a shade of green".

5.0 out of 5 starsGreen galore.
By Heidi Grange on May 8, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Seeger never ceases to amaze me with her creativity and skill. Here is another deceptively simple yet fascinating look at the world around us. Seeger shows us the beauty and versatility of the color green. Each die cut changes form on the next page. For example, the book starts by showing a forest with two die cut leaves. When you flip the page, the die cuts have become fish. The kindergartners I shared this with were fascinated by the way the shapes stayed the same but became something else, through the changes in color and location. A delight from beginning to end.

5.0 out of 5 starsClassic visual book
By Melinda in Pennsylvania on January 19, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is a beautifully illustrated book which promotes curiosity and looking carefully to see how details in one illustration can hide in the bigger picture. It's a great purchase for promoting caring about environment while you teach colors.

4.0 out of 5 starsA visual feast
By LP Salas on June 4, 2012
Format: Hardcover
Another striking and clever concept picture book from Laura Vaccaro Seeger. This one is about the color green, and great rhyming text ("forest green / sea green / lime green / pea green") and amazing use of art and cutouts make this one to look at over and over. It's hard to describe-you have to see it to appreciate it. It's really short, under 50 words, I think. So it's an incredibly fast read. But there's a lot there, visually, and you and the kids will want to return to it again and again to see how she works in each cutout to the current and previous spread.

Check out a more in-depth review at the blog 100 Scope Notes (I'm not associated with that blog).

Love Laura Vaccaro Seeger books! This one is a great book featuring the color green and it's many shades. Great paintings and pictures! Great book for an art lesson based off the color green and it's forms. My students loved it and got a kick out of searching in the book.

5.0 out of 5 starsRecommended read aloud preK-2 students
By K. S. Cummins on March 24, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! Seeger's text and illustrations require students to slow down and look closely and think. Each two-page spread in green, a 2012 Caldecott Honor Book, is dedicated to one particular shade of green. I finished this book and then read it again immediately, slowing myself down, savoring each page and thinking through the difference between the shades of green that Seeger features. Most of the shades are revealed through a nonfiction topic - forest green, sea green, lime green, pea green. There are few off beat greens - a "wacky green" with a green striped zebra; these do not deter from her message that there are a lot of different shades of green in our world. Instead "wacky green" expands our understanding of the presence of shades of green beyond the natural world to the creative, imaginary world.

There are so many teaching possibilities here. I've shared my thinking about this in my blog - [...].
