The penultimate composition of a child planting a seedling is wordless, inviting listeners, propelled by the internal rhymes, to participate. Others give pause the stop sign is "never" green. Thus the cutout leaves in the "forest green" landscape become the outlines of fish on the next page's "sea green." Sometimes words are disguised in a painting, so "jungle" (green), obvious when seen through the white frame next to a tiger, is camouflaged when the turn reveals Jackson Pollack-style drips across a lizard on the "khaki green" page. As the spreads open, whether the view is of a forest, a still life of limes, or a seascape, each one begs to be touched, and if the eye hasn't spotted the often cleverly concealed diecuts, the hand will find them. On a surface that brings its own nubby texture, the thickly applied oils produce luscious scenes, verdant and ripe. PreS-Gr 2-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.
