(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sarah McMenemy. Unable to cross the street, Agatha May Walker plants herself, in an easy chair, in the middle of traffic. This forces everyone to slow down, changing Rushmore Boulevard into a pedestrian paradise. Boldly composed mixed-media illustrations and the text's incorporation of different fonts offer feelings of both turbulence and calm, taking readers from a frenetic place to a relaxed setting.
Reviewer: Rebecca Reed Whidden
