Reception

edit

Kirkus Reviews finds Green '...lovely, inventive, engrossing and interactive.'[1] while Publishers Weekly concludes 'Here's hoping subsequent color books from Seeger get the green light.'[2] Janice Harayda finds 'its romanticized green-is-good subtext borders on an environmental cliché.'[3]
