PreSchool-Grade 1?If crayons could talk, what would they say, and how would they say it? Clever cartoons and rhymes have 12 crayons shouting, hooting, asking, and roaring. "Silver toots, 'Grand,/Marching band' " and "Green yells, 'Fun!/Watch me run.' " While the action is child-appealing and tickles the funny bone, the gouache, acrylic, and crayon drawings are muted rather than crayon-bright. Children will enjoy the book nonetheless, and it's a perfect vehicle for language and art activities. Be sure to have Mary O'Neill's Hailstones and Halibut Bones (Doubleday, 1989) available for those who want more in a similar vein.?Virginia Opocensky, formerly at Lincoln City Libraries, NE
