(2) K-3 "Boy with dog and grandfather with beard go for a walk" in Greenwich Village. "As nature's lights go out, city's lights come on" until the streets are abloom with Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas illuminations. Text here is minimal, with a nice lilt featuring irregular rhyme; the figures carry the action--whether Old-Country sturdy, stylishly debonair, or zany. A lovely companion piece to Shulevitz's Snow.
