(4) PS Illustrated by Lynn Rowe Reed. "Sun comes up.... / Sweep! Sweep! Sweep! / Dusty little / street cleaner / swishes down / the street." A lyrical, onomatopoeic, vaguely rhyming text describes a typical day in the city. The book features great verbal and visual thumbnails ("Man walks his dog--dog walks his man"), but both the verse and the acrylic art occasionally test the line between exuberance and chaos.
