(3) K-3 Illustrated by Thor Wickstrom. After a boy who lives with his aunt discovers an old man living in the basement freezer, he pieces together that it's her long lost fiancé. The horror-story premise is played beautifully for laughs, thanks to the expertly sustained country-flavored rhymes. Wickstrom's slathered-on oils capture the situation's absurdity--and tenderness, when the geezer is telling his tale of star-crossed love.
