Great review. A children's book which encourages children to have a positive attitude and never give up and strive to do their the best.

Thanks for the review. I read a sample and couldn't agree more about the natural rhyming. Too many children's books use a rhyming structure that doesn't flow when spoken aloud. Authors often focus on rhymes but forget about the importance of the cadence of the lines from one to the next. This book seemed to consider both. That said, though, it is kind of a creepy looking protagonist.

This book has me literally curious as to how it ends. As an adult I've felt stuck about Little Green's question. I'm impressed the subject was tackled for a children's book. This one sounds good.

This was a wonderful pick for book of the day. Anyone with grandchildren would love to read Little Green. For both the artwork of the illustrations and the lessons to be learned. Awesome job on your review.

I like how hand drawn the images in this book are! This looks like a great book for children.

Great to see a shout-out to the illustrator! The sample only shows a little of the illustration, and pictures can really go a long way to attract and hold a child's attention. It's good to know that the illustrations are so excellent throughout the book.

Quite a rich review! It's lovely that it teaches kids to be willing to go any length to achieve their dreams while exposing actual limitations. It's also important that the rhymes are seamless and not fake. I'm rather interested in reading this book.

What a wonderful review! The book itself educate children. I like the character "Little Green" for its curiosity to do everything other animals can do.

The theme in the book indeed is appealing. How to cope with our limitations is an important lesson that children must learn when growing up. How nice that the illustrations match with the story as well. Thanks for this detailed review!
