(2) K-3 Illustrated by Stefano Vitale. With accumulating prose, Franco guides readers through a pond ecosystem's food chain: "This is the nymph / the mayfly nymph / that nibbled the algae / that grew in the water / that filled the pond..." In creative and highly effective oil painting on wood illustrations, Vitale, using blues, greens, and purples, transforms the wood grain into pond ripples and floating clouds.
