Title: Why is the Grass Green?
Author: Chris Arvetis and Carole Palmer
Illustrator: James Buckley
Genre/theme of book: informational book
Summary of book: This story uses cartoon animals to tell the scientific reason grass is green. The child-friendly characters present this information in a way children can understand it. They compare grass to a factory that works to make food for the plant. The pictures and information is broken down to a simple level, while still informing children of the way plants grow.
Characters:: Christopher, Mrs. Cow
Reader's comments: I like how this book makes complex concepts more concrete for children. This is one of a series of books that approach topics in this way. I think they are great for the classroom for fun and as a teaching tool!
