(3) 4-6 Ten-year-old Sylvie spends a summer writing the sheriff's daily newspaper log and worrying that her mother wants to leave rural Wyoming to be an opera singer again. Sylvie's observations for the newspaper, written as short poems, illuminate the beauty of ordinary people and events. Deliberate repetition creates a musical feeling while providing support for independent readers; this would also make a solid family read-aloud.
