(3) K-3 With the help of the Carob Tree, little Topec figures out how to scare away the Great Bird of the Underworld, who has brought drought to the Pampas. Vidal's folk-art-style paintings reflect the story's moods, crescendoing in a double-page spread in which armadillos, foxes, people, llamas, and rheas dance for joy in the rain. A list of sources is provided. Glos.
