Book Reviews of Lemons Are Not Red

Book Review: Quite possibly the finest color book out there
Summary: 5 Stars

Laura Vaccaro Seeger's "Lemons Are Not Red" is not only a work of art, but a joy for parents, educators, and young children alike. Each of the richly colored paintings are worthy of framing, as they are as beautiful as they are functional. The text invites readers to play, argue, and laugh as they explore what's NOT red, orange, gray, etc. and discuss what IS! The pages are thick and durable and will stand up to many years of enjoyment. Like Seeger's previous work, "The Hidden Alphabet", this is an ingenious creation with a complete understanding of the way a child's mind works and an incredibly successful attempt at expanding their imaginations and the way they view the world. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Summary of Lemons Are Not Red

Lemons are not Red. Apples are red. Lemons are yellow. . . .

Clever cutouts in the pages make a simple, original, and utterly beguiling introduction to color.

Laura Vaccaro Seeger, whose The Hidden Alphabet dazzled critics and readers alike, introduces young children to color in this unique concept book with die cuts. The opening spread features a big, bright red lemon and the simple text, "Lemons are not RED." When the spread is turned an equally bright yellow lemon appears ("Lemons are YELLOW") across from a luscious red apple ("Apples are RED").

And so it goes, from carrots that are not purple through reindeer that are not white, et al. The book ends with "The moon is not BLACK / The moon is SILVER / The night is BLACK / Good night! And the reader sees a tranquil night landscape and a house with the lights turned out.
