Illustrated by
Laura Dronzek.
This ingenious book invites the very young to rethink absolutes. "Pink is for crow..." the book begins, confoundingly, accompanied by a picture of a sleek black bird. A page turn reveals the explanation--"when it has just hatched from its egg"--and a rich, vibrant painting shows featherless pink baby birds in their nest. This distinctly unconventional book will reward preschoolers' attention.
