PreS-Gr 2-Through a simple rhyming text, Ryder encourages readers to explore the world around them as she describes some of the creatures found in many parts of the country. "There's a fawn in the grass,/watching me as I pass./I am silent and slow/as it watches me go./There's a trail on a leaf/and a snail underneath./There are treasures to see/hiding all around me." The fawn begins and ends the cycle; in between are lizards, hummingbirds, a mole, a hawk, and more. Narahashi's gouache-and-watercolor illustrations extend the possibilities for exploration by showing additional life that is not mentioned explicitly. The artist's shifting perspectives from eye level to ground and then looking down from above widens the scope for readers' perceptions and adds to the overall effectiveness of the book. A brief note and photograph at the end reveal the actual fawn that inspired the story. An excellent choice for storytime or general reading aloud.-Ellen A.
