(3) K-3 Illustrated by Manuel Monroy. Chepito asks his neighbors why they are doing what they're doing. Their answers--digging weeds to help corn grow; feeding chickens so they will lay eggs; milking a cow to give Chepito's family milk--subtly reveal the connection between food and the environment in the rural community. Monroy's illustrations, created digitally from colored-pencil drawings and watercolors, have a delightfully simple, unhurried look. Glos.
