(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Podwal. Bored with terrorizing the citizens of Chelm, invisible demons ship themselves to New York in search of a greater challenge but get stuck in a crate for fifty years. The overlong tale lacks the appeal of traditional Chelm stories, though the demons' adventures with subways and computers provide some amusement. Smudgy purple and blue paintings are interpretive and add to the book's appeal.
