(4) K-3 Illustrated by G. Brian Karas. An indignant girl launches an inquiry, complete with investigative journalism conducted in Central Park, to answer the question: "Why don't more babies work?" Adults may find this cute, but children might be skeptical: what real kid finds babies' unproductivity confounding? Karas's illustrations, full of urban sophisticates, also manage to work in the main character's experiences as a city kid.
