Lemons Are Not Red by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

Lemons Are Not Red by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

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.

This title has Common Core connections.

Laura Vaccaro Seeger has won numerous honors, including two Caldecott Awards, two Geisel Honors, and the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, and has been dubbed the queen of the concept book by The Horn Book. The First Egg, One Boy, Green, and the Dog and Bear series are among her works.
