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 ke ...more

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.

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!

Lovely wordless board book in which "one yellow ribbon" (hence the title) makes it way into the composition of various objects (including a man's cane and a crescent moon). Good for working with perception and abstract thinking.

Maddie chose this one and for sure, it was too young for Kait. She was better at talking about the pictures but her response to the books was that she likes books with words better!
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 crea ...more

Beautifully illustrated in mixed media (and one yellow ribbon) this will encourage the reader to look carefully at the pictures and find the matching piece.

A wordless book that follows a yellow ribbon through all the various manifestations of what it could be. Very cute art work and each picture encourages the imagination as to the use of the ribbon. Not at all what I expected!
This wordless book allows for a ton of imagination as you see how one yellow ribbon can be transformed into a variety of different objects. The pictures are beautifully done to spark interactions between reader and child.

This book is so lovely and so much fun! A yellow ribbon loosens itself from a little girl's hair and then is made to represent everything from a Lion's mane to the mustard on a hotdog! Kids will have lots of fun spotting the ribbon on every page! It's adorable!

What a wonderful concept, and executed so well! I love the collage illustrations.
Gorgeous art in this textless book!
The ribbon from a girls hair is used in all different kinds of ways in this fabric, collage, wordless, board book.
Even though this book didn’t have any words, it was super cute trying to figure out what the yellow ribbon turned into 💛
I liked this one a bit better than One Patch of Blue. Creative search/find book for the youngest set. Sure to prompt lots of conversation.
Celver uses for a ribbon. Each spread tells a little story.
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. ...more

Creative celebration of all of the things a ribbon can be. Sure to inspire some found object art from young readers.

all kids and interested adults, especially artists!
This clever, creative book is fascinating! The author shows all the different places a yellow ribbon could be part of a picture! Wonderful!
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 t ...more
