(4) PS The lyrics to folk-music trio Peter, Paul, and Mary's title song (CD included), which features a blend of nursery-rhyme snippets and a hide-and-seek motif, serve as text. Davenier's ingenious illustrations show rain-detained kids playing the game in a house in which a grandfather ("the old man") is stuck in bed ("bumped his head"). Too bad the text doesn't quite work without musical accompaniment.
