Walter Was Worried
by Laura Vaccaro Seeger (Author) Laura Vaccaro Seeger (Illustrator)
Opposite the simple declarative sentence, Walter was worried is a portrait of a very worried Walter. But wait! The letters that spell out his feelings form his facial characteristics, as well as his expression. Gradually a simple story unfolds: the sky grows dark, the fog rolls in, lightning lights the sky, and thunder shakes the trees; Priscilla was puzzled, Shirley was shocked, Frederick was frightened... and eventually (when the sun came out) Henry was hopeful, and Elliot ecstatic.
