Earth Verse: Haiku from the Ground Up

(2) K-3 Illustrated by William Grill. This haiku collection about Earth's geological and meteorological features combines correct terminology with a wry, child-friendly sensibility. Colored-pencil pictures are informal and sketchlike in some places and painterly in others, giving a sense of the places and action. Tiny jewels of poetry and oversize pictures will draw children into contemplating natural wonders. Symbols at the bottom of each illustration are explained in an appended section. Reading list.
