Illustrated by
Mique Moriuchi.
A seed drops in the soil, a plant grows, a bug eats a leaf, a frog eats the bug--so begins this unflinching account of a food chain. In a poetic text, Fisher carefully controls the pacing; the design also pays attention to the intensity of each action. Stunning paper collage illustrations focus closely on the plants and animals mentioned.
