Lunchtime for a Purple Snake

32 pp. | Houghton/Lorraine | March, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-618-31133-5 $$15.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Todd McKie. Jessica and her grandfather create a painting together, with the older generation guiding the younger, first through the mixing of colors and then giving her helpful hints about making the paint "sing." Spread by spread, the pair add images to the painting: first the "slithery snake," then a green bug, a rock, and so on, until the entire painting is ready, a true masterpiece of the kindergarten oeuvre.
