Juvenile Review - Blue by Laura Vaccaro Seeger


Is Blue a colour? A feeling? The name of a dog?  Maybe all three? To be perfectly honest, I didn't get this book the first time I read it until I was near the end.  Then everything clicked into place.  This simply-worded book packs an emotional wallop as Seeger takes us through the adventures, life, and relationship of a boy and his dog.  Holes are intentionally cut into the pages and hold significance to both the front and back of the same page.  These holes will delight a child's curious mind and fingers, and adults will find themselves remembering fond memories of their own experiences.
