(4) K-3 Illustrated by Carol Crimmins. Although a young girl is nervous about her upcoming in-class presentation about personification, she clearly defines the concept and offers numerous relevant examples as she goes about her day ("my worries packed their bags and walked away"). The narrative construct and rhyme scheme occasionally feel forced, but whimsical mixed-media illustrations complement the textual examples. An appended "More About Personification" section reinforces the lesson.
