Kirkus Starred Reviews

In this clever book, a green lion is waiting at a red traffic light. While he waits, a series of unexpected events occur, involving such things as lightning, a lilac, library books and lima beans. Or rather, ?li-ghtning,? ?li-lac,? ?li-brary books,? and ?li-ma beans? because the text on each spread ends with ?Red light, green li-,? and the reader must turn the page to see the whole word --- and what's happened. All the while, the lion calmly and helpfully deals with whatever shows up (even loading livestock into a lifeboat!) and wryly muses about the way life can be. ?Some days are not like most days,? the lion explains at the beginning. But as all children know: those days are usually the most fun!
