Waiting For Wings

(by Lois Ehlert, Harcourt $17 Score:

) Breathtakingly vibrant collages spill over the pages of htis glorious early science book that is told in rhyme. Like the eggs that hatch into caterpillars that spin cacoons and emerge as butterflies, Ehlert's pages grow larger and fuller as the metamorphosis comes about. A beauty! 3-6

Diary of a Spider

(by Doreen Cronin/illus. by Harry Bliss, HarperFestival $15.99 Score:
