The Great Big Green

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Desimini. "The thing is, / the thing is green. / And the green is, / the green is green." So begins this occasionally haltingly written book-length riddle, which will reward persistence. Texturally sumptuous mixed-media-collage illustrations usher readers through a luscious exploration of things green ("Think rolling-waves-of-grain green / thick green vines / climbing high") until they reach Big Green itself (the earth).
