Moonlight and Shadow

(4) K-3 Illustrated by James Coplestone. Moonlight the horse is scared by his shadow, which looms large on this snowy moonlit night. The art is stronger than the text, which sometimes stumbles with imagery that should soar. Distinctive watercolors use flat background colors (stark white for the snowy field and indigo for the night sky) to create a dramatic stage for the dapple gray horse and his darker shadow.
