The Lonely Pine

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Etienne Delessert. A pine tree in the Arctic north observes the seasons changing around it along with the animals that come and go. Frisch's text, while lyrical, takes itself too seriously in its earnestness. Delessert's illustrations are refreshingly subdued. A calendar, inexplicably from 1945 and with someone's scribbled appointments on it (a musical theater lover) tracks the seasons.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
