(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bernadette Watts. This story follows the voyage of five small pinecones as they fall from their tree into a stream and travel along the water to a river's ocean convergence. The story suggests changes in the bodies of water and surrounding terrain as the pinecones drift away one by one. Impressionistic illustrations in soft, seasonal hues add details that reflect the different landscapes.
