(2) K-3 Isadora recasts "The Green Grass Grew All Around," setting it in Africa. As the verses accumulate, the subject of each line is shown as a rebus; complete lyrics and musical notation are included. Bright blue birds star in the collage illustrations, standing out dramatically against the earth-tone foregrounds and stark white backgrounds. A fine contribution to picture books based on children's songs.
