(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Robert Rayevsky. This collection includes a few classic poems; most of the works, though, are new and fresh. They range widely in tone from the frivolous to the heartfelt, and the book flows beautifully from subject to subject. Rayevsky's brush-inked and watercolor illustrations add visual appeal and gentle humor without overwhelming the words. Surprising and inspiring.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Rayevsky. Two foolish men decide a traveling peddler looks sinister and therefore must have stolen a horse from their village. The pair look very silly when the peddler's bag is opened and no horse is inside, but in a clever twist, the foolish men are proved right, though they never know it. The entertaining story pictures a hook-nosed, swarthy, thieving peddler against stupid pink-cheeked bumpkins.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Rayevsky. The play between opposites is presented in full-spread cross sections inside this handsome book that explores the world beneath the city. High's minimal text segues smoothly from timeless to practical to unexpected examples. Rayevsky's visual exploration of similarities and contrasts between what's above and below is especially creative. This is an outstanding book, brimming with things to discover.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Rayevsky. A simple, matter-of-fact, yet graceful biography effectively presents the dramatic events in the life of the peasant girl who led the French army to victory against the English and later became a saint. Illustrations rendered in dry point and etching on buff-colored paper have an elegant simplicity well suited to the story's medieval setting. An author's note provides additional details about Joan's life.
