Around Our Way on Neighbors' Day

32 pp. | Abrams | August, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8109-8971-9 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Charlotte Riley-Webb. An African American girl moving about her neighborhood describes her excitement leading up to the evening's block party, which culminates in an outdoor dance party: "Hustle...bustle...salsa sway, / Wild day, around our way." The unpredictable rhymes keeps readers on their toes--and keep those toes tapping. The mural-like acrylics full of loose-limbed celebrants are a little rough around the edges.
