Lemons Are Not Red by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

Laura Vaccaro Seeger writes great books for children. My grand kids all enjoy her books. Lemons Are Not Red is a fun book with cut outs in each page. The book begins with "Lemons are not RED," with a red lemon showing.

The lemon is a cut out, so when you turn the page, the lemon cut out is now colored yellow with the words, "Lemons are YELLOW. Apples are RED."

Each page shows a different item from nature and keeps the child guessing which item will be shown next. Honestly, you can't go wrong with this author. She knows how to delight young readers - and old ones like me. :)

This would be a great book to send to our NICU babies. 

Link to our NICU book registry if you'd like to donate books to babies in the newborn intensive care unit so their parents can read to them while they grow. You can also donate gently used books to our project by sending them to me or to Angie. Email me for a mailing address. We can use both English and Spanish books. If you have a graduate of the NICU, or if you have a baby whose life you would like to honor by donating books to this project, let me know, and I can make a book plate with their name for the books you donate.

Read to a child today even if that child is you.
