(3) K-3 Illustrated by Yangsook Choi. Gelman takes us through the cycle of planting, weeding, harvesting, and threshing the all-important rice plant in Bali. The simple text is informative and is accompanied on each double-page spread by a verse about one of the many animals (e.g., eels, dragonflies, mice, ducks) included in the rich ecosystem of a paddy field. The warm earth tones of the illustrations reinforce the theme of the book.
