(4) PS Illustrated by Deirdre Betteridge. From her "morning face / yawning / breakfast face / sticky" to her "tired face / drowsy / heavy nodding head," a girl narrates her day by describing her own expressions and those around her at home and at preschool. Although the author conveys a variety of events and emotions using this clever device, some of the couplets are less on-target than others. Simple, childlike illustrations in muted colors help extend the story.
