(2) K-3 Illustrated by André Carrilho. In colloquial first-person Brooklynese, Winter adeptly chronicles Koufax's star pitching career. Carrilho's illustrations complement the text, exquisitely capturing the sport's drama with angular, elongated figures; the use of color (red, blue, and, most strikingly, gold) to accent the graphite drawings; and a variety of textures, including an attention-grabbing lenticular cover. Sidebars provide interesting and relevant baseball stats. Websites. Glos.
