(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Joy Pratt. Thirteen abstractions, ranging from liberty to creative spirit, are defined on double-page spreads providing four examples. Hardship, for example, features Jamestown, Valley Forge, Manzanar, and Clara Barton. Though somewhat random, the selections are nicely diverse. A helpful timeline and a map of all the entries conclude the volume, which is illustrated with childlike figures in scratchboard and watercolor. Reading list.
