Rezensionen

Grade 1-3 On a warm summer evening when ``the air is heavy and sweet-smel ling. . .like roses and cut grass,'' what could be more fun than an after-dinner game of hide-and-seek?

Glass' characteristic buck-toothed, rubbery children run, jump, or crawl through a hazy landscape rich in blues and pur ples: dark enough to limit vision, light enough to keep menacing shadows at bay. Although told in the present tense, there's a hint of fond reminiscence in this evocative story. John Peters, New York Public Library
