Annie placed more corn cakes at the edge of the wood.
This illustration from Annie and the Wild Animals (Houghton Mifflin, c1985) is a great example of Jan Brett's technique of adding story information in panels strategically placed at the top and bottom, or on the sides of a two page spread. What animal is coming next to eat Annie's corn cakes? Can she tame him for a pet? (She misses her cat, Taffy.)
