PreS-Gr. 2. In this wordless mind trip for tots, Lehman develops a satisfying fantasy in a series of panels framed with thick white borders. The effect is of peering through portals, an experience shared by the characters as they independently stumble across enchanted red books that provide them with a videophone-like connection. Though wordless picture books often seem to be the province of fine artists indulging in high-concept braggadocio (as in Istvan Banyai's 1995 Zoom), Lehman's effort ensures child appeal with an unaffected drawing style and a simple, easy-to-follow story line about a friendship forged between a city girl and a faraway island boy. The message about the transporting power of story will moisten the eyes of many adult readers, but children will most appreciate the thought-provoking visuals, in which characters' actions influence the course of their own storybook narratives--likewise affecting the larger "red book," cleverly packaged to mimic the shape and color of its fictional counterpar

This story starts on the cover with the glorious, goldencountenance of a lion. No text is necessary to communicate thetitle: the direction of the beast's gaze and the conflictedexpression on his tightly cropped face compel readers to turn thebook over, where a mouse, almost filling the vertical space,glances back. The endpapers and artist's note place these creaturesamong the animal families of the African Serengeti. Each spreadcontributes something new in this nearly wordless narrative,including the title opening, on which the watchful rodent pauses,resting in one of the large footprints that marches across thegutter. In some scenes, Pinkney's luminous art, rendered inwatercolor and colored pencil, suggests a natural harmony, as whenthe cool blues of the sky are mirrored in the rocks and acaciatree. In other compositions, a cream-colored background focusesattention on the exquisitely detailed and nuanced forms of the twomain characters. Varied perspectives and the judicious use ofpanels create interest and
