Red Red Red
Turtle is in a hurry. “I’m off to see something red red red.” Everyone he encounters wonders what it could be. Mrs. Raccoon’s red roses? Fox’s red roof? Captain Dog’s red ship? Each animal’s guess is wrong, and as curiosity grows so, too, does the parade of citizens following Turtle to his unknown destination. Young children will be delighted by the growing suspense in author/illustrator Valeri Gorbachev’s simple, satisfying story. What is Turtle rushing to see? They’ll also be eager to shout out everything red that is revealed with the turn of each page. And like Turtle and his followers, they’ll delight in the resolution when Turtle’s journey comes to an end on a hill overlooking a glorious sunset. Red, red, red indeed. ©2007 Cooperative Children's Book Center
