(3) K-3 "Imagine a train to take you away..." Poetic rhyming verse implores readers to use their imaginations as a woman and two children travel to a city "where buses are fish / and the fish fly the sky." The enchanting, crosshatched black-ink illustrations conjure an earlier, untrammeled-by-pop-culture time, albeit a surreal one in which a painting's trees reach into a museum.
