(4) PS Illustrated by Jen Corace. "A patch of light! / One final peck. / I give a shove and s-t-r-e-t-c-h my neck." With some unusual visual perspectives, the earth-toned ink, pencil, and watercolor illustrations depict an infant killdeer bird pushing out of its eggshell and frolicking in its new world. The first-person conversational rhymes chronicling the enthusiastic fledgling's discoveries are often awkward and lumbering.
