(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. Lyrical verse and lush gouache watercolors give a giant sequoia's imagined perspective on the forest life around "him" as seasons and years pass, creating a portrait of a wise and benevolent ancient being. The text--full of alliteration, assonance, and consonance--begs to be read aloud. A few vertical spreads capture the tree's majestic height. "Some notes on sequoias" appended. Bib.
Reviewer: Katie Bircher
