(4) K-3 Illustrated by Rob Gonsalves. Superrealistic paintings present a world that, like an Escher image, deceives the eye. For example, children climb the limbs of a tree that is actually the tree's reflection in a lake's surface ("Imagine a day...when you can dive / down through branches / or swim up / to the sun"). Though the verses are bland, the paintings are intriguing.
