The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge by Hildegarde H. Swift illustrated by Lynd Ward*

 The little red lighthouse is proud. It performs important work, warning boats which pass by on the Hudson River of the rocks.  Then a great gray bridge is built OVER the little red lighthouse. The great gray bridge's light shines brightly from the top. Is the little red lighthouse obsolete?

I loved how Mr. Ward subtly incorporated faces and expressions on the lighthouse and the boats. Whimsy and realism married nicely!

Based on a lighthouse overshadowed by the George Washington Bridge

*Highly recommend.
