Baker, Keith

Lucky Days with Mr. and Mrs. Green

72 pp. | Harcourt | March, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-15-216500-2 $16.00

(2) K-3 Beginning readers are treated to three stories with fully developed plots and characters and steady pacing, all of which are emphasized in the jaunty acrylic illustrations. The alligator duo (from Meet Mr. and Mrs. Green) engages in detective work, enters a contest, and performs in a talent show. Each story contains a refrain that allows new readers a respite from all that decoding.
