(2) PS Illustrated by Mike Lowery. What can a crane pick up? According to this book, anything and everything. Dotlich's energetic, smoothly rhyming text is well matched with Lowery's childlike mixed-media illustrations. The images of happy, friendly-looking machines (and animals, planets, and underpants) are irresistible; the playful hand-lettered verse is full of silly surprises. Lowery's subdued palette balances the wacky scenes of smiley cranes taking on the challenges.
