(2) PS Illustrated by Barry Root. "And the pigeons coo / And the big dogs bark / And the noises echo through the park." The simple couplets steer us from the horse path to the zoo, over a bridge, to a close-up of boys and their boats on the boathouse pond. Using cinematic elements with subtlety and style, each double-page, full-bleed spread is a paean to this best of parks. Root paints with a skilled hand, using a palette so lush you can smell the warmth of summer in it.
