(3) K-3 Illustrated by Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher. Young Robin paints on doors and plants flowers in the bathtub, so his parents give him his own bedroom, which Robin and three carpenters transform into a dream studio, complete with easel-like closet door with paint-jar shelf. The vast images are presented from unconventional perspectives, and readers must turn the book upside down at one point--qualities that honor Brown's gloriously surreal vision.
