(3) K-3 Wildsmith's trademark brilliant colors and richly textured patterns are used to full effect in these oversize books. Woodpecker details the conflict between a night-loving owl and the noisy woodpecker who takes up residence in his tree. In Duck, the main character is ridiculed because he can only swim in circles. Both books offer gentle lessons about respecting differences and learning to co-exist. Review covers these titles: The Little Wood Duck and The Owl and the Woodpecker.
