(2) PS A fallen tree balanced atop a boulder makes a perfect prehistoric seesaw for dinosaurs of increasing size (newcomer lifts previous dino into the air: "I'm bigger than you"). Then a fiery-red T. rex shakes up the narrative and the muted paint and watercolor palette, losing its temper and breaking the seesaw. Play resumes--cooperatively, this time--on a broken-seesaw-parts slide. It's a solution as elegant as...a simple machine.
