Robert Hynes.
Elizabeth recounts the treasures she has found with her brother, Michael, in the creek behind their home--fossils, arrowheads, crawdads, and all kinds of animals and their tracks. Accompanied by detailed acrylic paintings that employ creative perspectives and close-ups, the text is more descriptive reminiscence than story, but it successfully conveys the author's deep love and appreciation for nature.
