PS
Two mice make a teeter-totter. With one mouse on each end, it balances perfectly. But along come a salamander, two frogs, etc., who want in on the fun. Walsh (Mouse Paint) tells a dynamic story while introducing some basic science. Her cut-and-torn-paper collages impressively balance composition, color, and narrative content. A lively yet minimal text supports the tale beautifully.
