Butterfly Eyes and Other Secrets of the Meadow

(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Beth Krommes. Eight pairs of "poetry riddles" present such related elements as the spittlebug and the xylem sap it sucks from its host plant. A spread giving answers to the riddles and adding specific details about, say, "dew and grasshopper," follows each pair of poems. The verse is vivid, melodious, and rich in variety. Krommes's scratchboard illustrations are splendid, reflecting precise observation. An elegantly conceived, beautifully integrated volume. Glos.
