(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ron Brooks. The heavily etched, red-earth-toned paintings in this allegory give it a primal feel, as does the erratic hand lettering at times placed sideways on the page. The powerful, deeply disturbing story of how Magpie is rehabilitated by half-blind Dog after she's crippled in a forest fire, only to betray him over the false promises of Fox, will provoke a disquieting response among those willing to tackle it.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
