PRESCHOOL
(2) PS Illustrated by Margaret Chodos-Irvine. An ethnically diverse classroom of children hears the "BOOM BOOM!" of a thunderstorm. They explore outside as the last raindrops "drip drip"; which leads to puddle-jumping ("splash! splash!"). The rhyming pattern--with one or two onomatopoeic words per image--continues as the seasons progress ("crunch crunch" of leaves and apples in the fall). Authentically childlike emotion is conveyed by the mixed-media art.
