(3) K-3 Illustrated by Barry Root. Spend a pleasantly frantic day with Calvin Curbhopper, bicycle messenger extraordinaire. The text comprises spare, jazzy rhymes ("Sun, wind, rain, snow, / Messenger, messenger, gotta go"), and the shadowy, detailed paintings reveal what the spare text doesn't: the city's splendor, busy street life, and Calvin himself (he reads and listens to music when he's off the clock).
