Re: Official Review: Little Green by Arnold Rudnick

Post by Jane Wanjiku Mwaura »

When I read this fun Little Green Book by Arnold Rudick, I could not help but introduce it to my six year old daughter. We even read it together page by page and enjoyed how Little Green, the young frog that is eager to play with other animals. I personally found the story educational and full of many life skill and teachings, from how life is unique to everyone, how life can be unfair sometimes, and why important it is to remain positive even in disappointing situations.

As we read together with my daughter, I also enjoyed explaining some of the new words to her and how she was keen to learn them. For parents looking out for a nice and interesting book to captivate them and their young ones, then this Little Green does the trick.

Nice review. Little Green sounds like a very interesting & educational story for kids with lessons that some grown-ups need to learn!

The review is sound. It captured the message(adventure)/content, the grammer/presentation as well as th finishing(cover design) while not mincing words on areas that needs attention. Life is an adventure, hence LITTLE GREEN is a wonderful piece for children to prepare them for life challenges.

From the review, it sounds like this would be a good book to give to my granddaughter - when she is a tad older than 10 months. I'm not so sure I agree with the character's name - Little Green - being too blase. I think the simplicity of it will make it more memorable to the young reader/listener and if there are sequels to this book it would be a great identifier.

This sounds like such a wonderful book for children. I love children's books. I actually think Little Green is a nice name for the young frog. If my kids were younger I would definitely invest in this book.

The review made the book a must read. In the bookstores, illustrated books always catch my attention. I usually browse and (sometimes finish it in one go). Wonderful font + artistic drawings are plus points! I'd like to know more about the frog Little Green because this review has no spoilers. Haha. Good job on the review bookowlie. :D

Great review! This is really very interesting and everyone will surely love it. I really love children story books and tend to still read them. The story has a lot of lessons that the children can learn from. Even in time of hardships and trials, it will show you to learn to never give up and continue to work hard in pursuing your goals. At a young age, it will teach a lot of children to learn the a lot of values in life.
Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.

I like green eggs and ham as a child, it was always fun how dr suess rhymed in this book and showed children that you have to try things before you say you don't like it.
