"Good morning, sun. / Good morning, sky. / Good morning, orange butterfly." A little girl goes around her garden greeting flowers, berries, birds, and bugs. Although the text is joyful in tone, the frequently uneven rhyme schemes make it a challenge to read aloud. The cut-paper illustrations seem to pop off the page, with each flower and insect carefully detailed and identifiable.
