Du Iz Tak?

<b>A 2017 Caldecott Honor Book</b><br><b><br>The creator of <i>Home </i>turns a droll eye to the natural world with gorgeous art and a playful invented language.</b><br><br><i>Du iz tak? </i>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&#151;with the help of a pill bug named Icky&#151;they wrangle a ladder and build a tree fort. But this is the wild world after all and something horrible is waiting to swoop down&#151;<i>booby voobeck!</i>&#151;only to be carried off in turn. <i>Su! </i>With exquisitely detailed illustrations and tragicomic flair Carson Ellis invites readers to imagine the dramatic possibilities to be found in even the humblest backyard. <i>Su!</i>
