(2) K-3 Rosenthal brings us an amusing, nearly wordless book about a boy who thinks "nothing ever happens around here!" The grumpy little hero makes his way through the city, complaining about his boring town while a dog chases a cat, spooking an elephant, who bolts from the zoo, etc. Youngsters will be entranced by the hilarious scenes in this engrossing extravaganza.
