(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Hoffmann. "You can read in the classroom / you can read in the park / you can read on a mission / under cover in the dark." Hand-lettered rhyming text describes the many places one can read, while retro illustrations show large-headed children with thin limbs reading. The text makes somewhat labored attempts to be subversive, but sly details in the art add cohesion and substance.
