All Things Bright and Beautiful
K-Gr 2-Whatley has interpreted this 19th-century hymn, which celebrates both nature and the omnipotence of the Creator, in beautiful, panoramic watercolor paintings. They feature a girl dressed in dungaree overalls, a straw hat, and boots walking on a farm with her dog. The illustrations are consistent in their wonderful, soft colors. However, the artist's talent overwhelms the simple text. Notes and lyrics appear on the last two pages.Barbara Buckley, Rockville Centre Public Library, NYCopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
