- Blue Goose
- Nancy Tafuri,
Simon & Schuster, $11
Blue Goose, White Duck, Red Hen, and Yellow Chick decide to brighten their dull farm by painting it, from the barn roof to the flowers; secondary colors— like green for grass—require some teamwork. Whimsy and lovely pencil work elevate what could have been a by-the-numbers color book. In keeping with the joyful peculiarity, there's no explanation of why the goose is blue.—Ages 2 to 5
