(3) PS Following the pattern of the traditional rhyme, Harper's version tells of a lady who, in pursuit of a star, uses many modes of transportation (roller skates, a rocket) to collect one. The whimsical story is illustrated with distinctive stylized illustrations. Harper draws flat, simple shapes outlined in unbroken black lines but gives depth to her art with patterned backgrounds. Equally outlandish, both art and text are well matched.
