(4) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Hans de Beer. Alexander, a young mouse, dreams of being brave like Mighty Bruno, a teddy bear superhero. When Alexander's family runs out of food, he ventures into the kitchen, disguising himself from the housecat by wearing a bear costume. While readers will applaud Alexander's daring and enjoy the comic illustrations, the story ends too abruptly, with the cat improbably "adopting" the bear-mouse.
