(4) PS Harper Growing Tree series. Illustrated by Shari Halpern. "Did you ever have a horse snort near your ear? / How did it feel? / Moisty, musty. Warm and gusty." Ten double-page spreads each feature a question about an animal encounter and a rhyming answer using tactile language. The textured cut-paper illustrations are a good match for the text. The repetition of "How did it feel?" becomes tedious, but the imaginative text will encourage listeners to come up with their own questions and answers.
