(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Dutton. Donovan has many little jobs to do--wash his face, don a suit--en route to his "BIG job": he's the ring bearer at his moms' wedding. Donovan's excitement is palpable throughout Newman's text. Dutton succeeds at making the main character look like a kid trying to feel like himself in a penguin suit.
