Illustrated by
Andrew Joyner.
A falling apple sparks mass hysteria among the forest animals--until the littlest rabbit calms down and identifies "the Plop." This is classic picture book fare with unfaltering rhythms, perfectly choreographed page turns, and the great satisfaction of readers being smarter than the protagonists. Jaunty drawings with a touch of collage demonstrate that even a dust cloud can have the presence of a character.
