(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler. This funny, feisty story recreates the childhood of Looney Tunes voice actor Mel Blanc (the author's father-in-law). Young Mel moves through his day finding constant opportunities to make new sounds wherever he goes. Ebbeler's warm watercolor illustrations put Mel's imagination front and center, while overlaid ink drawings and word art evoke the ebullience of the future actor. Author's note included.
