Du Iz Tak? (Carson Ellis)

Summary: Du Iz Tak?  What is that?  As a tiny shoot unfurls, two damselflies peer at it in wonder.  When the plant grows taller and sprouts leaves, some young beetles arrive to gander, and soon--with the help of a pill bug named Icky--they wrangle a ladder and build a tree fort.  But this is a wild world, after all, and something horrible is waiting to swoop down--booby voobeck!--only to be carried off in turn.  Su!  With exquisitely detailed illustrations and tragicomic flair, Carson Ellis invites readers to imagine the dramatic possibilities to be found even in the humblest backyard.  Su!
