(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jef Czekaj. Elementary school students perform a play about how the thirteen squabbling colonies agreed to join forces. In this attempt (largely successful) to make a U.S. history lesson palatable to the 24/7-cable-TV generation, the bland main text is the straight-man; humor comes from the costumed kids' dialogue-balloon asides and the cartoony illustrations resembling Simpsons stills. Bib.
