GREEN WILMA
“There’s something decidedly odd
about Wilma: at breakfast, her parents
are startled by their offspring’s request
to ‘Pass the bugs’; later she shocks her
teacher by snagging a ‘tasty little fly’ with
her long pink tongue. Most noticeably,
however, Wilma’s skin has turned a deep,
froggy green....In this strange and gleeful
story, it’s surprisingly easy being green....
Arnold’s rhyming text is as buoyant
as his leaf-colored, rubbery-limbed
protagonist.” —Publishers Weekly

warm, glowing pictures and an ending

“The gross factor is a key ingredient
here, with...bold, comical illustrations
that catch the full-blown anxieties of the
imaginative narrator. When Mom and
Dad intervene, little boy and audience
alike breathe a sigh of relief. A zany, ultimately
reassuring take on something that
may indeed be a child’s bugaboo.”
