which allows them to be enjoyed by all elementary readers, long enough for beginning readers and short enough for oral readings. "An unusually rich debut picture book . . . with their vivid language, these tales simply sashay right along. Unusual artwork presents textured still lifes, like tapestry wallhangings; these convey both the history and morality of the stories, and, at the same time, portray splendid detail. A handsome, informative collection." --Publishers Weekly. Smucker, Anna Egan. Outside the Window. New York: Knopf, 1994. 32 unnumbered pages illustrated by Stacey Schuett. Hardback in dust jacket. $15.00. Anna Egan Smucker is a native of the northern West Virginia panhandle who lives with her husband and two children in Bridgeport, West Virginia. Her first children's book, No Star Nights, was a bittersweet reminiscence of a youth who lived under industrial smokestacks. This picture book is much more upbeat, a delightful, fanciful look at a little boy's day through the eyes of a family of birds in a nest above his bedroom window. It should bring this modest but deeply talented lady some measure of well-deserved success. God, in a playful mood, Piled up West Virginia, Then patted her down again. Pile, pinch, press, punch, On a hunch he left her That way. And it was good. --Phyllis Wilson Moore
