PS
In this wordless book, figures on road signs magically come to life and interact with the nighttime rural setting: a deer from a yellow "deer crossing" sign nibbles leaves, a tractor similarly detaches to plow a field, etc. The lively shapes celebrate together before returning to their static daytime places. Cool colors allow the true-to-life sign imagery, with black silhouettes on bright yellow and orange backgrounds, to stand out.
