Ruddell, Deborah

A Whiff of Pine, a Hint of Skunk: A Forest of Poems

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joan Rankin. This collection blends the natural world's beauty with imaginative silliness; for every lovely whistling robin, there's an insulted turkey. Ruddell makes the musings of daydreaming opossums and self-admiring raccoons pleasant to the ear with capable rhyme and meter. Rankin's light-filled, forest-hued watercolor illustrations evoke the experience of a carefree stroll through the woods.
