(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ted Rand. A young girl describes how every year members of her small town, including prison inmates (one is her uncle), build an ice palace for a winter carnival. The narrator makes a somewhat heavy-handed suggestion that the prisoners get a new perspective on life through their involvement with the carnival, but otherwise the book, featuring Rand's frosty watercolors, has a light, lyrical touch.
