Illustrated by
Nadine Bernard Westcott.
Todd's mother pesters him to keep up during their walk through the park. When he presents her with a box of park artifacts (e.g., leaves, a pine cone, an acorn) he has collected, she is thrilled. A more charming story couldn't have been crafted from sixty-four simple words, and Westcott's art in springtime hues is effervescent. The book ends with "Think about It" questions and two activities.
