PICTURE BOOKS
(1) K-3 A young artist, inspired by his books about African animals, is transported to an imaginary safari in this dreamy wordless book. Armed only with his pencil, sketch pad, and easel, he finds his models in the African landscape--elephant, zebras, etc. The story line is engaging and easy to follow, and Colón's pen-and-ink, watercolor, colored-pencil, and lithograph-pencil pictures are nicely textured.
