Five for a Little One - Chris Raschka

A marvelous children’s book about the senses. It has gorgeous illustrations, mostly woodcuts with some (I think) airbrushing. It also has an unusual and interesting rhyme scheme for a children’s book. The author has also written and/or illustrated a number of children’s books about jazz greats (like John Coltrane and Charlie Parker), and the rhyme scheme reflects that jazz feel. You can imagine the book being read out loud at a poetry slam by a man with a deep, melodic voice.
