(3) PS Illustrated by Timothy Basil Ering. When a normally tolerated snack is met with a tantrum, a boy's parents must weather the storm--literally ("Uh-oh! Thunder in the nursery!"). Using fragments and short sentences, which are well suited to the protagonist's explosiveness, Elliott gives a universal toddler phenomenon a comical but not condescending treatment. Charcoal, oil paint, and grease pencil collaborate to depict the domestic battlefield.
