The Sunhat
In prose that occasionally takes on the rhythms of verse, Ward (There Was an Old Pirate Who Swallowed a Fish) plays with alliteration and rhyme as the animals (which include a mouse, jackrabbit, and family of quail) scurry for cover.... Sisson s (Thank You, Miss Doover) smudgy, mixed-media desert scenes teem with plant and animal life and the excitement of a summer storm, and Rosa and the animals exude personality. --Publishers Weekly
