One Yellow Ribbon
by Marthe Jocelyn
A young book without print to help trace and follow a ribbon through various artwork pieces, showing recognition, understanding of texture, and context. Its a great early reader, or English as a second language reader because teachers can use it to teach many lessons. You can use the art work to explain English language concepts, permanence of objects, color, texture, shape, an have them recognize the ribbon in many different places and ways.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A book very similar to the author's other title, A Patch of Blue. No words but bright pictures. I think the littles will enjoy looking for the yellow ribbon in each picture.

A beautiful and simple story about what we can see all around us if only we really look. Beautiful artwork.

This is a lovely little book that will help the kids develop visual acuity. The illustrations are simple, with each one having the same yellow ribbon. It's a great book to use to introduce little kids to the "I Spy" sorts of books.

First, please note I read a digital galley provided by the publisher. I would like to say that I hope the final edit has words. Currently this is a wordless picture book about all the things a yellow ribbon could be, such as a lion mane, a hanger, or even a dress. The pictures are interesting, but there is nothing really to hold this book together. It is more a collection of pictures than a story. Adding text would probably help that.

This is a completely word less picture book. It shows many ways in which a yellow ribbon can be seen in everyday things.

The illustrations were vibrant. The pictures were everyday things and easily identified by a child. I would have liked the yellow ribbon to have been consistent though out the book but think a young child could identify it alone or with the assistance of an adult.

Like other reviewers, I wish that it would have contained some words. It need not be many. Just a few would take this book to a higher level.

As with the author’s other book, One Blue Patch, this would be fun to read with babies and toddlers. Beyond that it will be hard to maintain a child’s interest.

This is the second book I have seen from this author. I really love how she uses color and texture. In this book we are seeing the color yellow. It is a picture book full of texture and the color yellow. As with the other book I think this would be a great book for young children to learn the color yellow. It also makes a great seek and find for that purpose. Cheers to the author for such a unique idea. I recommend this book for 2-4 yr. olds.
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

An adventurous yellow ribbon escapes from a little girl's pigtail and finds lots of places to hide before I'm sure it is recovered and tied up once again where it belongs.

It morphs into many different places and shapes such as a lion's mane, mustard on a hotdog, chopsticks, a trapeze artist's swing, a pencil, a warm winter's scarf, a walking cane for an elderly man and a beautiful potted plant, just to name a few.

Kids will love discovering its new hiding place on each and every page. This creative, wordless, board book with its delightful paper collages is both entertaining and engaging for that particular age group and maybe even younger. I highly recommend it.

Simple, wordless book, showing the journey of a yellow ribbons, as it escapes from a little girl’s hair, and into the manly places that it can. Disguising as a pencil, or a winter scarf.

Lovely illustrations.

It should be a good book to look at with your kid, and point out where the ribbon has gone.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

The book is only illustrations and I wish it had atleast few words.
While the illustrations are creative and various textures are used to depict the journey if the ribbon, I still hope atleast some of the pages had few words.

This book is probably something I would just browse at a store or library and not per se have it at home.

Overall my rating for the book would be 3/5.

Just like One Blue Patch, this is an amazing wordless book. The illustrations are fabulous and seem to jump off the page through the layering approach. Not only does this book address the concept of color (yellow) but it also offers readers an imaginative perspective of what blue can be. I can see these books being used in art classes as well as in preschool.

I really loved this picture book of a little girls ribbon that escapes from her hair and becomes many other things throughout its journey. The paper collages are beautiful with lots of things to talk about and point out to your little one.
Thanks to Net Galley and Orca Book Publisher for the advance copy!

One Yellow Ribbon is very similar to another of the author's other books, "One Patch of Blue". I appreciate the unique ways the ribbon was incorporated into a variety of scenes, and I think that some very little ones (under 3) will enjoy spotting the ribbon on each page.

Although I actually think the ribbon was used more creatively in this book than the patch of blue was used in its book, it kind of bugged me that it was clearly not the same ribbon used throughout. The patch of blue at least kept the same proportions in each little vignette, whereas the ribbon in this book changes width and length from page to page.

Another middle of the road rating for this one with 3 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Orca Book Publishers for providing me with a DRC of this book.
