(4) K-3 Zooming away on his scooter after stealing cheese, mouse Fingers McGraw asks readers to keep watch for elephant lawman Jumbo Wayne Jr. The plot's weak and there are some adult jokes ("She's hot! But I don't need company right now"), but readers may enjoy Fingers's appeals and reproaches ("Hey, kid!...Maybe crime just isn't your racket!") and the frenetic mixed-media illustrations.
