Smiley's Dream Book

(3) K-3 Color by Tom Gaadt. Smiley Bone (of Smith's graphic novels) stars in a large-paneled picture book that serves as both a counting book and an introduction to comics conventions. A dreaming Smiley climbs a tree toward, and then takes flight with, an increasing number of birds that then depart one by one after Smiley scares off a hawk. Cheery pastels create a pleasant, spring-like mood, despite the brief scariness.
