BRIEF OVERVIEW: This book is dedicated entirely to the color green. Each page has a different shade of the color on it and they are made with die cut technique. The purpose of this book is not only to instruct, but to show how different colors cause different moods.

INTEGRATED ACTIVITY:Invite your students to brainstorm lists of colors, indicating whether their names are abstract or indicative of actual objects. Encourage them to bring in as many of those objects as they can find, or to search the internet for photos of those objects. Create a classroom bulletin board or wiki of all the wonderful color names they’ve found.
