Green How many kinds of green are there? There's the lush green of a forest on a late spring day, the fresh, juicy green of a just-cut lime, the incandescent green of a firefly, and the vivid aquamarine of a tropical sea. In her newest book, Caldecott and Geisel Honor Book author Laura Vaccaro Seeger fashions an homage to a single color and, in doing so, creates a book that will delight and, quite possibly astonish you. This title has Common Core connections.
Blue There’s the soft blue of a baby’s cherished blanket, the ocean blue of a romp in the waves, the chilly blue of a cold winter’s walk in the snow, and the true blue of the bond that exists between children and animals. In this simple, sumptuously illustrated companion to Caldecott Honor Book Green, award-winning artist Laura Vaccaro Seeger turns her attention to the ways in which color evokes emotion, and in doing so tells the story of one special and enduring friendship.
《绿 》这个世界上有多少种绿色呢?有晚春森林中郁郁葱葱的绿,有热带大海中浓郁的绿,有切开的青柠中泛黄的绿,有萤火虫的尾部一闪一闪的绿……这本书展现了各种各样的绿色,并通过许多形状各异的模切小洞构成了树叶、鱼儿、气泡等等有趣的形状,使画面更加丰富,也更有想象力,吸引人一页页翻找。每找到一处时,都会开心一笑,或大吃一惊。这些小洞不仅构成了画面,还神奇地形成一种关联性,将整本书的每一页都一个一个串联起来,好像每一种绿色都不仅仅只代表自己这一页的内涵,还化身在其他的页面之中,表达出了更加丰富的意义。
《蓝》你知道世界上有多少种深深浅浅的蓝色,它们都象征着什么样的情感吗?当男孩还是一个小婴儿时,有一条浅蓝色的手帕,还有各种蓝色的玩具。当他渐渐长大,会将手帕系在脖子上,和小狗一起品尝酸酸甜甜的蓝莓。他会画蓝色的画,追逐蓝色的蝴蝶,和渐渐长大的小狗一起去踩蓝色的浪花,看蓝色的天空……可是有一天,当男孩长大了,小狗也已渐渐地老去,终于离开了他。男孩的整个世界都变成了悲伤的深蓝。他还能重新振作起来吗……
