(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. When the first graders have to take a standardized test, many of them are confused by the multiple-choice questions. The children feel stupid, but their teacher points out that they know many important things, especially how to be kind. The author deals sensitively with the small insecurities of young children. Himler's new illustrations in watercolor and pencil are soft and gentle.
