Red Knit Cap Girl and the Reading Tree

(3) K-3 In Red Knit Cap Girl's third book, she and her animal friends turn a nook under a tree into a library. The whisper-calm narrative describes the sweet collaboration: animals give books to the cause, sheep donate blankets for cozy reading, and Beaver contributes a homemade bookshelf. Stoop's unmistakable mixed-media illustrations on plywood have an enticing, mildly luminous look.
