A great, non trivial concept book about colors. A toddler or preschooler will find it funny and enjoy the die-cuts in the pages. The illustrations are very vivid and fleshy. I in particular liked the picture of the people through the window in the lit up house in the end, those turning into a vibrant tree as you turned the page, while the light in the house went dark. It's a great early reader book too, the illustrations will help the reader. If you liked this one, you'll probably also like First the Egg.

“Lemons Are Not Red” can easily be read to (and echoed by) a pre-reader child. There are few words, but lots of entertainment. Silly conclusions such as red lemons and purple carrots get those giggles out before finally reaching that all important page reminding us that we all need to go to sleep.

1.This picture book belongs to the Concept Book category.
2. In this book, Seeger introduces the reader to twelve colors. The colors are explored by showing the readers items of varying colors using creative cutouts. The book explores the colors of fruit, vegetables, animals, the sky and more!
3.Critique
A)The design of this book includes cut-outs which engages the reader with the text and encourages the reader to make predictions using clues in the text.
B)The design of this book allows interaction and predictions of the readers with the text. Each item is presented on a page showing a color it is not through a cut-out of the item. The rest of the page is brilliantly designed to be the actual color of the item, which allows students to use context clues to figure out what the real color is. When they turn the page, they figure out if they are right by looking through the same cutout to see the real color of the object (the cutout reveals the background of the original page). Instead of simply being told what color any object is they are allowed to see what color the item is not, predict what color the item is, and then shown an item that is actually the original color. With a simple flip of a page, they can discover the real color of the items presented in the book and make connections between something more abstract like a color and something concrete like fruit and animals!
C)Examples of this abound throughout the book, but my personal favorite occurs on pages 9-12. On pages 9 and 10, the background of the picture is a beautiful shade of pink. Just the shade of pink that you would imagine a flamingo would be. On page 10, there is a cutout in the shape of the flamingo and the reader can see the color gray behind the flamingo. The text states, “Flamingos are not GRAY.” The reader turns the page to page 11 and now the cutout shows the beautiful pink from the previous page and the text reads, “Flamingos are PINK.” On page 12, there is a picture of a sweet gray elephant and it reads, “Elephants are GRAY.” The reader is automatically led to think that flamingos are pink using their prior knowledge and the context clues of the color of the pages on page 9 and 10. Then they are able to visually check their predictions on page 11 because of the cutout. On top of this, the book provides examples of what is actually gray to allow the students to make connections with this color, as well.
4.The curriculum connections in this book are simple but varied. This concept book is about colors. So colors can easily be introduced and connected to various items in the book. This book also allows the exploration of the word “not” and what it means. Students could imitate this book creating colors and concepts of their own with cutouts which help show what an item of their choice is or is not so they can practice understanding the word not and their colors. They could extend this reading by looking at and exploring different colors.

1. A concept book about colors.
2. In this book, Laura Vaccaro introduces the reader to twelve different colors. As each color is introduced a ‘not’ statement is made about the color of an object familiar to children like lemons, or grass, or snowmen. Once the reader understands what color the object is ‘not’, they turn the page to discover the object’s true color.
3. a. Design – b. The design of this concept book is especially unique. It encourages young readers to ask questions of themselves and incorporates a unique sense of touch into the concept of color recognition. c. Half of the objects identified in the text are cut outs. As one object is identified as not being a particular color, the reader turns the page and it is transformed into its true color. The cut out shapes encourage little hands to reach out and touch the pages of the book as they turn them back and forth to see the shape change colors before their eyes. Each color is also highlighted on one page as a flat solid color and on the other as one painted with oils and heavy brush strokes. This contrast helps readers see the colors with a depth and richness beyond the basic.
4. The book could be used with a lesson on colors for very young children. Older audiences might also be encouraged to continue the color pattern in the book and recreate their own color statements.

Lemons Are Not Red by Laura Vaccaro Seeger
Genre: Concept Picture Book
This picture book introduces young children to color in a simplistic way by first making certain objects, such as a lemon, a different color, and then showing the right color by the flipping of a page.
a.) A major strength of this book is the interaction between the book and the reader through the organization of the colored pages and the cut outs.
b.) The organization of the story and colored pages is fantastically done; the cut outs are placed in such a way that the reader is able to visually see the item in the wrong color and in the appropriate color just with a flip of a page.
c.) There are several examples of items and their correlating colors. My personal favorite example is the moon, which the author first says that it isn't black, but then with a turn of the page, the moon is the right color, silver! This gets the younger children thinking and understanding. The use of cut outs allows the readers to interact with the book; they are able to touch and feel the cut outs along with the visual sense of things.
Curriculum Connection: As stated above, this is a concept book about color, so it is a great way for younger children to learn different colors and those items that are associated with that color. It helps to build a connection with the colors.

1. This book would fall under the category of a picture book, concept.
2. Lemons definitely are not red – but what color are they? This book explores colors to decide what colors are and are not possible.
3. critique
a. The strongest part of this book is its game-like quality.
b. The book is set up as a game of it’s not this, so what is it? The book uses cutouts to pose the original question or statement like “Lemons are not red.” This simple statement allows the reader to try to guess what color lemons should be. Turning the page gives the reader the answer.
c. The cutouts of the book pose many questions throughout the pages. Some of the cutouts are more obvious than others, which will extend the reader’s vocabulary and knowledge base. Colors are explored while traditional colors of the real world are discussed in the book.
4. a curriculum connection
This book is ideal to teach not only colors, but vocabulary of traditional colors of the world. Children could also predict something that is the color that the original statement is not. Lemons are not red – but what could be red? Can you name something? Flamingos are not grey –what could be grey? The book follows a predictable pattern that will interest from the simple pre-readers to more advanced ones.

1. Concept Picture Book
2. This picture for young children and describes how some objects are certain colors while others are related to that object but a completely different color.
3. a.) Contrasting color objects
b.) The author/illustrator did a great job of selecting the objects for this concept picture book.
c.) The objects selected for contrast are very closely related. For example: Fruits, vegetables, winter objects, the night, etc. These objects however are completely different colors. I feel this does a great job of showing children how things can be very similar and different at the same time. A lemon and an apple are both fruits, but they have completely different colors.
4. I would suggest this book for very young children. Pre-k would be acceptable but also daycare children could be read this book. It would be great to start off a week with a "differences" theme. It would be good to bring up the topic of how people are different as well because of color but they are the same because they are all people. (this topic, however, would be more for elementary school)

1. Genre: Concept (Colors)
2. This book explores colors by showing and explaining which objects are not specific colors, and which object are those colors.
3. A. Area for comment: Format/Design
B. This book is unique in that the author/illustrator Laura Seeger portrays a variety of objects as the colors they are NOT as well as the colors they actually are. The reader is allowed to get a multidimensional definition and physical view of each object changing from the color it isn't into the color that it is.
C. The best example can been seen on pages 1-4. A lemon is shown as red, but the statement says, "Lemons are not RED" (Seegar, 1-2). Likewise, when the reader turns the page, the lemon magically turns from red to yellow and the author states, "Lemons are YELLOW. Apples are RED" (Seegar 3-4). Additional examples similar to this one can be seen all throughout the book.
4. I would use this book to expand young student's vocabularies as well as possibly promoting them to ask specific questions of themselves about the pictures and the text. Additionally, colors can be taught and even reinforced by reading this book to students.

What a great book! Readers will learn their colors by seeing the incorrect color first and then, eureka! The right color! Bright illustrations and die cuts add to the fun of turning each page until, finally, it's time to say goodnight! Great for toddlers and pre-schoolers alike.
CIP Summary:
None. From the book jacket: Laura Vaccaro Seeger introduces young children to the world of color in this simple, original, and utterly beguiling book.
From Kirkus:
A few words, a handful of brilliant colors and a bewitching idea will enchant the youngest of book lovers and their resident grownups, as did Seeger's Hidden Alphabet.
From Hornbook:
This color concept book shows pairs of objects (fruits, animals, vegetables) first in the wrong color through a die-cut hole, then correctly after a page turn. Young children will enjoy the feeling of superiority as they work to provide the correct answer before the page turns. The colors and textures look nearly edible, and the heavy paper should stand up to multiple readings and pokings.

1. { Genre }: Concept
2. { Summary }: Lemons are not red, lemons are yellow. Learning colors through cut-outs.
3a. { Area for comment }: Design
3b. { Critique }: A minimalistic yet effective way to express/teach colors.
3c. { Critique Example }: Another great cut-out book! This book is designed in such a way that expresses a false statement of color and when you flip the page it reveals the true color of the object. If the lemon is not red, then an apple is, but the apple’s true color isn’t revealed until the next page in which reveals another objects false color. It’s a fun book to flip through. I appreciate how the book just doesn’t focus on foods and moves onto such things as animals and nature.
4. { Curriculum Connection }:
A great book to start either introduce or supplement the study of colors, animals and the concepts of night and day.

This is one of the better books about colors I have used for bilingual story time. It features fun cut-outs. A review from the School Library Journal does a way better job about explaining the cut-outs and how the book is laid out: "The first spread reads, "Lemons are not/ RED." The word "RED" appears on a bright yellow page beneath the die-cut shape of a lemon with a red background showing through. When the page is turned, the die-cut shape falls on the correct yellow background, with the words "Lemons are YELLOW" underneath. The red background of the facing page is revealed to be an apple, with the phrase, "Apples are RED."
I used it as a participation book for a program I did about the color green for St. Patrick's Day this past year.

Summary (WorldCat):A simple story highlights such things as a yellow lemon, a pink flamingo, and a silver moon in a visual game in which die-cut shapes fall on the correct color backgrounds.
Review: A color concept book,is fun becaust it can be interactive. It would be fun for the readers or listeners to correct or laugh at the obvious mis-matched colors. Of course lemons are not read...how hilarious. The color illustrations are vibrant and the cutouts add to the story structure and visual interest.
School Library Journal calls is a "visual treat" and Booklist notes its "creative design" and "engaging presentation.

A short little book that's useful for the toddler/preschool/early reader set. There are short sentences on each page: "Lemons are not RED." "Lemons are YELLOW." "Apples are RED."
With peek-a-book cutouts on the pages, children are able to see the colors being referred to, which is helpful in reinforcing the learning of colors for younger children. It's also great for pre- and early readers, who can associate the words with the simple pictures and the repetitive words "not" and "are".
We'd borrow this one from the library again!

Lemons are Not Red by Laura Vaccaro Seeger is a great read for children who are learning their colors. The interactiveness of this book helps children evaluate which colors belong on which objects (ex. lemons are not red...obviously). The illustrations are very simple but I believe that this is beneficial considering the age range that this book is targeting. Children learning their colors need simple objects to correlate with.
Overall, I would give this book 4 stars because I believe it is fun and interactive AND would be a great tool when teaching children colors.

This is a fun read aloud for children trying to solidify their concepts of color. Each right page has an outline of an object (like a lemon) that allows the reader to peak at the following page. The text is repeptitive and simple..."Lemons are not red, lemons are yellow, apples are red" and "Flamingos are not gray, flamingos are pink, elephants are gray." And the end of the book tells the reader good night.
Each page has bright, simple pictures.

"Lemons are not red. Lemons are yellow, apples are red." And so the book progresses, showing us one this in the color that it is not, explaining/showing the correct color and something that is truly in that color. I can immediately see the appeal of this book to toddlers and preschoolers. Clear, simple illustrations of colors, with unique cut-outs that add something to the visual interest help make this the perfect book for little ones.

Lemons are not red. Lemons are yellow, apples are red. And away you go!
Fun with colors and cut outs. Two years in a row preschool kids have asked me to reread it the moment I finished reading. There's enough of a pattern that they can help "read" it. So there you go.
My one gripe: I don't get the progression: we move from lemons to deer to snowmen, to night time. Yes, we're hitting the colors. Yes, I like it. But yes, I'd like it better if the progression made sense to me.

Loving the "colors" books we got from the library this week, including this one. This is a cleverly-designed book with cut-out images that change color as you turn the page, from the "wrong" color to the proper color. The text is simple, but it's really fun to play with. My baby enjoyed it a lot, although he's so little that I had to really watch him to keep him from grabbing at and tearing the cut out pages.
April 3, 2009
This is a book I'd like to own eventually. It's just really clever. I love the cut outs that are used to contrast different colors (for both the correct and incorrect colors for each object). The last page is especially neat, my husband had to point out the people in the window! (Which turn out to be just part of the tree on the next page)
May 2, 2011
Children will like a color concept book Because it is fun. It teaches children the incorrect color of fruits such as lemons are not red and oranges are not gray. It provokes children laughter and arguments about the incorrect colors of fruits. Teachers can teach the color concept for preschool children and grade one and two students.

Charming picture book that my 5-year old instantly fell in love with. Die-cut pages first show the wrong color for something, and then you flip the page to show the correct color. Makes you smile with the hilarious combos of colors, as well as a little bit of "magic" to see how each page resolves itself.
Great little surprise from the library!

What a cool use of shaped pages to draw a preschooler or toddler into the consideration of color. The style is simple but not simplistic. It got several reads at our house, with obvious enjoyment. One could even use the concept as a basis for a color-identifying game: 'lemons are not red, they are...' followed by 'what is red...'

This is a terrific book for learning/ reinforcing color-knowledge as it uses cut-outs in the pages to let kids play a guessing game as they read. While there is no linear plot, it is still a fun book to sit down with, and I can see kids wanting to read it multiple times.
March 13, 2012
Kids love this mixed up book. I usually keep this read to preK and K. I have the kids try to guess what might be on the next page. Sometimes they need a little prompting, but usually someone in the group guesses right.
November 17, 2016
Okay, this is a five star children's book, but the sweet spot is probably 2-3 year olds. It is brilliantly sublime for all ages, but this is only 12 pages or so, and I think the simplicity and color shock value will work best on the younger set.
November 21, 2016
I really enjoyed reading this book with the children and by the end they were shouting out the names of the colours. I particularly like the cut-out style of the pages. Definitely one to read again and again.

Curriculum tie-in; 'Color Words'. The kindergarten students were proud to help me read the book. )By the end, they were reading it to me instead of vice-versa)

Munchkin loves this. I don't. Reindeers are neither of the colours stated, really, which irritates..
If you've seen one book by Vaccaro Seeger, you've seen 'em all, really. All of them are adored by the offspring, less so by me. ;)

October 26, 2024This book is for 1-4 year olds. There are cut outs on most pages. The pages are paper. Thus, most pages of this book will get ripped immediately. Why didn’t they make it a board book? Or, if it is offered as a board book, why didn’t my local library buy that version??

This is a clever book and I loved the use of die-cuts. I thought the last page was abrupt and rather out of place though.
