"I SAID RED!" says the little boy out playing on the farm with his older sister. "You don't mean green? Look, here is green..." she teases. "A pickle green. A big frog green. A leaf, a tree, a green bean green." But the boy means RED. "A cherry, berry, very red." They romp through the pages, from "blue jean blue" to "yellow, bright and mellow..." and on to purple, brown, orange, pink and black... But through it all, the boy SAID RED!

An intriguing journey into the natural world -- from deep in the grass to high overhead."There's a worm on a string,who is swaying in space.There's a white butterflyon a circle of lace."As a young child takes a walk in the woods, the world comes alive with creatures and treasures big and small -- from ants and lizards to moles and hawks. But the most special discovery of the day is the fawn in the grass who watches the narrator's journey begin and end.Joanne Ryder's lyrical text and Keiko Narahashi's beautifully detailed illustrations capture the wonders of nature from a child's point of view.
