"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
