(3) K-3 Illustrated by Claudia McGehee. An Iowa man restores a spring-fed creek and its wildlife to the prairie valley where it once flowed before a farmer filled it in for a cornfield. Vivid, descriptive language and striking scratchboard art with watercolor and dye coloring capture the transformation's complicated process and, ultimately, the triumphant return of Brook Creek (including the brook trout). Endnotes discuss the real-life restoration.
