The Earth Is Good: A Chant in Praise of Nature

32 pp. | Scholastic | March, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-590-35010-2 $$15.95
(4) PS Illustrated by Jim McMullan. A simple text follows a boy enjoying the wonders of nature: "The sun is good. / The earth is good. / The trees and birds and bees are good." The watercolors in brown, green, and blue tones add some movement to the actionless text by showing the boy running, leaping, and climbing. The boy is sometimes awkwardly proportioned, but the environment and animals are more successfully portrayed.
