Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2--The affable alligators who made their debut in Meet Mr. and Mrs. Green (Harcourt, 2002) are back with three brand-new adventures. On a fishing trip, Mrs. Green is discouraged because she isn't catching anything, until she learns that her husband has a secret bait--jellybeans. Next, Mr. Green is proud to be the model for his wife's Picasso-like portrait. Finally, a park proves to be the perfect place for both of them; after an enjoyable day, they decide that spaghetti with mashed potatoes makes a perfect follow-up to an ice-cream snack. Baker's palette features many bright colors, but the vibrant, green alligators take center stage on every page. Simple number concepts and translations of French words are seamlessly woven into the story. This easy-reader with a more sophisticated, chapter-book appearance will appeal to children familiar with Barbara Baker's "Digby and Kate" books (Dutton) and Denys Cazet's "Minnie and Moo" series (HarperCollins). With their zest for life and kind regard for one another, the endearing Mr. and Mrs. Green are sure to acquire more and more fans among newly independent readers.--Gloria Koster, West School, New Canaan, CT

The alligtor couple, Mr and Mrs Green are back in More Mr and Mrs Green and they are ready for 3 new adventures. First off it?s timefor fishing! Mr. Green shares his secret for catching the most fish. He uses jelly beans for bait! Then Mrs. Green shares with us her love of art. She paints a portrait of Mr Green and it turns out very unique. Last they go off for a lovely day in the park. Join them as they race for the ice cream truck!

My family enjoyed the bright illustrations. We have red the first book in the series and were excited to see what The Greens were going to be up to in this second installment.

The book is great for readers who are just starting to enjoy chapter books. The chapters are very short giving young reader the boost of confidence they need to enjoy reading.
