(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ted Lewin. A boy works with his father to salvage and recycle boards and rafters, doors and windows--everything possible from an old barn. High's language and use of similes is poetic, though it is unlikely that a child would speak the way the narrator does in this first-person story. Lewin's watercolors are rich and detailed with a strong sense of light and darkness.
