(4) K-3 Illustrated by Charles Vess. Reminiscent of Gaiman's "Instructions" in its fluent use of fairy-tale imagery, this self-indulgent picture book is composed of nimbly worded stanzas that form a heartfelt "prayer for a blueberry girl," wishing her various forms of joy and wisdom. Aesthetically accomplished, Gaiman's latest foray into picture books--enriched by airy, mysterious watercolors--will appeal primarily to adults.
