(4) K-3 Illustrated by Daniel Salmieri. An omniscient narrator supplies a top-secret formula called "BOOM" to a robot-costumed boy, and lo! he becomes a robot. Unsurprisingly, things get out of hand ("We're turning everything into robots? What kind of a story is that?"). Clever visual details and neat paper engineering, which ultimately allows readers to transform the look of the book, don't expand this single-minded story very much.
