Smick!

(2) PS Illustrated by Juana Medina. Playing fetch with the offstage narrator ("Stick?"), good-natured dog Smick is distracted by a "Cluck!" All ends in joyful doggy/chick friendship. Communicating Smick's boundless energy, digital art mostly consists of simple black lines against expansive white space. Minimal text cleverly plays with meaning via word order and context, encouraging independent reading and allowing readers to flesh out the story themselves.
