(2) K-3 In his second picture book, Cooper depicts the minutiae of an outing in the same style as his 'Country Fair'. Once again, the text is compact, child-centered free verse, and the loose watercolor and pencil sketches convey character and emotion gesturally and with remarkable economy. The payback with this small, quiet book will come for those who keep looking, as each reading will reveal previously overlooked details.
