(3) PS Illustrated by Emily Bolam. As she sets out for the Boston Common on her bicycle, a little girl collects many followers, from a farmer pulling his pig behind his tractor to a carload of motorists. Author and illustrator present an idyllic view of the Common (children dance around a maypole, and one spread echoes Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte) in this exuberant adaptation of an Appalachian folk song. Music included.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
