(3) K-3 Illustrated by April Chu. Young Art spends an unforgettable day fly fishing with his mother and grandfather, upholding a cherished family tradition. Readers new to fly fishing will appreciate the information woven naturally into the evocative narrative; three pages of fly-fishing facts are also included. Digitally colored charcoal-pencil drawings--including the endpapers depicting a variety of flies and their names--are warm and detailed.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by April Chu. From the erhu to the suona, this unique, boldly illustrated book introduces Chinese instruments. Children are pictured playing the instruments, while short, lyrical poems of varying styles pair with longer passages describing the instruments' uses, their histories, and other information. The book culminates in a final impressive spread depicting the children's orchestra performing in a grand concert hall.
