THE ROCK
by Peter Parnall & illustrated by Peter Parnall
In the manner of Woodpile (1990), still another observation of a particular site, presumably on his Maine farm, by this much- honored illustrator. With his trademark bits of telling detail, spare, angular line, and muted color against dramaticly expansive white, Parnall records the changes—swift and slow, within, upon, and around—a large rock that plays host to various plants and creatures. A lovely tribute to nature's orderly, thrifty ways. (Picture book. 5-10)
