book By Mary

Does it have to be a picture book? How about, instead, Hailstones and Halibut Bones, which is about the most awesome book of poetry going, and is very accessible to kids. It's a book of color poems--talk about simile, metaphor and personification! That's what I would use (do use) to teach those concepts.

But if it HAS to be a picture book....

Shadow (by the Pinkneys, I think)
Owl Moon by Jane Yolen
Time of Wonder by Robert McClosky (old one)
