(2) PS Illustrated by David Diaz. Diaz appropriately lightens his palette for this tale, told with compressed poetry by Brown, of a scarecrow boy who, wanting more than anything to fill his father's fearsome footsteps, sneaks into the fields one day to try to scare the crows. This is a clear, strong hymn to toddler independence and parental security, buoyed by big and sunny illustrations in brightly autumnal colors.
