(2) K-3 Illustrated by Petra Mathers. Here are twenty-eight lighthearted poems, many of which invoke place names in the United States. Prelutsky is content to describe scenes that vary from realistic to whimsical. The mild humor lies not in the action but in the deft use of language, particularly effective when shared aloud. Demurely naive, Mathers's cheerful, delicately delineated human and animal characters focus on their activities with becoming modesty and grace.
