PICTURE BOOKS
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. Each student receives an identical vehicle-building kit for the Going Places contest. Rafael and Maya collaborate ("the instructions never said we couldn't team up") and triumph with their unconventional contraption ("who said it HAD to be a go-cart?"). It's curious how a simple tool kit yields a plane, but the thinking-outside-the-box message is strong and the bright illustrations are full of momentum.
