Green
"Subtle cutouts on each richly painted page of Laura Vaccaro Seeger's 'Green' similarly create a mystical sense of complexity and continuity. In this case, the images on each page refer both backward and forward, permitting a fascinating interplay of shade and hue, from the 'khaki green' of a lizard to the 'never green' of a stop sign."--The Wall Street Journal“…the reader who settles down and slowly pages through its gorgeous acrylic paintings or, better yet, reads it aloud to a young child, will find rich rewards. Each spread describes a particular shade of green — forest green, sea green, lime green, pea green, jungle green — and the list actually does go on and on.”--New York Times“Seeger's skill at creating simple yet wonderfully effective concept books, as well as her mastery of die-cuts that delight in unexpected and ingenious ways, are in full evidence in this salute to the color green.”--Publishers Weekly, starred“…an enticing project in color exploration and language…”--BCCB“This is a book for turning pages, pointing, looking, talking— fun!”--Booklist, Starred"...a triumph of artistic problem-solving." -Horn Book, Starred“…lovely, inventive, engrossing and interactive.”-Kirkus, Starred "Just when it seems that there could not possibly be anything new to present about this trendy color, Seeger creates a tactile treat that yields surprise with every page turn."--School Library Journal, Starred
