(2) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Davis. In a follow-up to Splish, Splash, twenty-three poems celebrate light in forms familiar to young children, such as birthday candles and the full moon. Graphic design is the outstanding feature here, as the typography is used to intensify the shapes of the poems, not only with size and placement but with color as well, so that the words themselves become part of the surrounding illustration. This should have appeal to visual learners.
