I Don't Like Koala

(2) PS Illustrated by Charles Santoso. Plush toy Koala's uncanny yellow eyes seem to follow Adam everywhere. So Adam stows Koala away each night: in a pot, on top of the refrigerator, in a laundry basket. But he repeatedly finds Koala in his bed, "closer than close." Ferrell's lean, funny writing wraps things up with a didn't-see-that-coming twist. Pencil drawings in a muted digital palette contain clever, memorable details.
