(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ruth Ohi. This simple story about a non-anthropomorphized mother duck--who protects her stubble-field nest almost until it's beneath the cultivator--and the farmer who moves the nest aside is heartwarming. The telegraphic free verse narration is uninspired, but the watercolor illustrations, framed in the dominant tan of the stubble field, make good use of composition and color.
