(3) K-3 Illustrated by Arree Chung. With help from his baby sister and pet rodents, Joshua James, who could be a protégé of Rube Goldberg, devises elaborate plans to overcome daily trials. The simple rhyming text celebrates J.J.'s skills while offering life lessons about apologies, empathy, and wonder. The inventive fixes (detailed diagrams included) reside in Chung's child-friendly comic illustrations: digitally manipulated mixed-media collages with duct-tape accents.
