(3) K-3 Illustrated by Craig Orback. Thomas's verses about the four seasons are both spare and lyrical, avoiding the trap of sing-song while still featuring rhythm and some rhyme. They cue the artist ("Nature sketches WINTER...in pen and ink"), who responds in a different medium for each season: spring pastels, summer watercolors, and fall oils. Keen observation and uncondescending wordplay ("indigogoldgreen") evoke strong sensory images.
