(3) K-3 In her book about a small island populated only in summer, Stock's graceful, poetic text conveys the rhythms of island life. Her detailed pencil and watercolor artwork complements the text, showing an eye-catching variety of people and their summer activities. Perhaps aiming for the universal "island summer" of the title, the text never specifies the setting--though the distinctive illustrations portray a Greek island.
