  • Blink Like An Owl!

    Kate Burns

    Hardcover (Gullane Children's Books, Dec. 31, 1998)
    "The...five tableaux...seem like a great deal more, due to the wealth of line work and the density of Burns's colors. Each setting provides a question and answer: 'Who is hopping in the meadow?'--or swooping in the night or watching in the jungle--and then, 'Rabbits. Can you twitch your ears and nose and hop like a rabbit?' Burns introduces...animals...and demonstrates how they blend into their environments. A sturdily constructed set of adventures."--Kirkus Reviews.
