(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sara Ogilvie. Daisy is eating pancakes when a big purple rhino strolls into the kitchen, and her parents cut her off when she tries to tell them. Eventually they listen but don't believe her, so they take her to the zoo to show her a real rhinoceros--and end up surprised themselves. Informal multi-media illustrations match the text's casual tone and on-target humor.
