Grandpa Green: 04/13/15
Grandpa Green by Lane Smith is the story of family, memories, and topiaries. Grandpa Green has a beautiful garden full of different shaped trees and bushes. Each one tells an important family story. The book follows Grandpa Green and his great-grandson as they tour the garden. As they pass a topiary, Grandpa Green tells the story behind it. The artwork is done in a muted pallet of greens and browns.It's similar to Arnold Lobel's choice of color in his Frog and Toad books but the use of line and the attention to detail is like Chris Van Allsburg's style.
