(4) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Gaber. For sport, the sun and the wind compete to make a passing man remove his overcoat. Swirling, fanciful images show a bright, smiling, yellow sun and the dark, gray, angry wind. Though the book is visually striking, Forest's language can be overly earnest and a bit didactic ("I did not force him at all...Through gentleness I won my way").
