From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-K In perfect harmony of text and illustration, Carlstrom and Pinkney extol the joy of being a vigorous, curious child exploring the delights of a lovely summer day. Exuberant Anna, a pony-tailed little black girl in a bright yellow dress, frolics through luxuriant flower gardens, a rasp berry patch, and weedy wildflowery meadows; rolls down a green hillside; hops across a cool, froggy stream; stands sturdily up in a tree; crouches to examine insects under a rock; and finally falls asleep in the grass. The text, in free verse form, is melodious with internal rhymes, repetitions, and varied rhythms. Exquisite full-page illustrations in water color, gouache, and colored pencil depict a charming girl amid brilliant floral mag nificence and radiate summer warmth and beauty. The facing pages set off the verses attractively with a border of blos soms and leaves and a center portrait of an individual bloom, berry, burr, or other element from the larger illustration.
