(4) PS Illustrated by Anita Lobel. A thirsty magic seed, a curious little rabbit, and a bored young boy all experience a great change when rain finally falls. Henkes's gentle tale uses spare language to come to its satisfying conclusion, but Lobel's paintings, lush, impressionistic, and dramatic, work against the story's simplicity. The paintings tell a compelling story--just not the same one Henkes seems to be telling.
