(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rob Dunlavey. Set in the wetlands of the Mississippi River Delta, this book relates the actions of bayou wildlife as a hurricane approaches, occurs, and abates; creatures scurry for shelter, endure the onslaught, and survive the storm. Both the text's shifting cadence and Dunlavey's mixed-media illustrations artfully capture the dark, foreboding nature of the approaching storm, its fury, and the calm after. Author's note. Websites.
Reviewer: Luther B. Clegg
