(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mary GrandPre. Twenty poems run the gamut in subject, length, and style. The three brief stanzas of "My Hat!" honor a hard-working chapeau, while "Mrs. Bhattacharya's Chapati Zap Machine" amusingly malfunctions during a royal dinner, and "Elegant Elephant Delicatessen" features a foldout of the pachyderms pigging out. Throughout, richly colored pastel illustrations capture the whimsy of the verse.
