(4) K-3 Illustrated by Devin Asch. Tagging along with his tabloid reporter father, Hayward believes that everything he sees--the birth of a dinosaur, a bigfoot driving a cab, a gigantic chicken--was created by Dad to impress him. When Hayward prevents an octopus invasion it's his turn to be disbelieved by his schoolmates. The joke is one-note but fairly amusing. Digital illustrations in muted-gray tones offset the larger-than-life reporting.
