(2) K-3 Illustrated by Francisco X. Mora. From a house above Manila Bay, the birds' good-night songs end the day--until the raucous, ungovernable gecko shatters the evening idyll. How to get rid of him? This is the eagle's doing, and it takes some maneuvering--with the suspense and humor of traditional nuisance-routing tales. Climo's telling is fluent and vivid, and Mora's calm, sweeping watercolors let the words register.
