(3) PS Illustrated by Leonard Weisgard. This reissue gathers stories and poems about rabbits. Weisgard's richly layered illustrations are carefully reproduced; they are both a product of their time and an invitation for a contemporary child to look at woodlands in a new way. Brown's text fully inhabits a rabbit's world.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Leonard Weisgard. Animals gather to decorate a fir tree and celebrate Christmas together. Wahl's quiet, reverent text is extended by Weisgard's art in which the lines of the animals' fur connect them visually with the fir tree's needles, unifying the pages. This new edition, though essentially unchanged, has a slightly different format than the original.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Leonard Weisgard & Leonard Weisgard. Originally published under Brown's pseudonym Golden MacDonald, this 1947 Caldecott Medal winner, with its sumptuously colored paintings and rhythmic text, is a welcome reissue.
