The Whole Green World

Johnston, Tony. The Whole Green World. Illustrated by Elisa Kleven. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005. ISBN 0374384002. $15.00. Ages 4-8.

If you are just learning how to read and like books that rhyme you would like The Whole Green World by Tony Johnston. Elisa Kleven did a great mix of cartoon and realistic pictures. They are also very colorful, you can’t see a lot of white in them. This book would have been a lot better if they did not say practically the same thing on each page. This book might not have been the best book ever to a 5th grader, but it would be good to a younger child.
