One Hungry Heron

32 pp. | Fitzhenry | November, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-55455-361-7 $19.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Patkau. "Four water walkers / light as air, / skim, skitter, skate / there, here, there." Beck's nimble rhyming text counts pond animals from one heron to ten turtles. A thunderstorm sends all the animals running for cover until "Zero. Naught. None. / Till the storm is done." Patkau's rich-hued illustrations distinguish this offering.
