When was the last time a concept book made you cry?"-- Horn Book , starred review "Seeger's Green celebrated a single color, and so too does this companion, all the while telling a poignant story."--Publishers Weekly, Green , a Caldecott Honor Book: "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 review "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

SynopsisHow many shades of blue are there? There's the soft blue of a baby's cherished blanket, the ocean blue of a romp in the waves, the chilly blue of a cold winter's walk in the snow, and the true blue of the bond that exists between children and animals. In this simple, sumptuously illustrated companion to Caldecott Honor Book Green , award-winning artist Laura Vaccaro Seeger turns her attention to the ways in which color evokes emotion, and in doing so tells the story of one special and enduring friendship.
