Howell (The Dragon of Cripple Creek) and newcomer Carr trace the elaborate journey of a rock after it gets stuck in a girls shoe:  Ow! Lizzy said. This just will not do!/ She flung it, it crashed... in a crickets canoe. Playful details pop up throughout Howells rhymes (a trout spits the rock onto a ducks umbrella, and a bird with a spyglass later spots it balanced on a womans hat pin), but its Carrs elegant cut-paper dioramas that command attention. Rendered in warm browns and lit by fiery golden light, their whimsy dovetails nicely with Howells verse, while out-of-focus trees and grasses create a lovely sense of three-dimensionality. Carrs trees feel inspired by the art nouvl£)
