(4) K-3 Illustrated by Zac Retz. Matty ignores his art teacher's warning against using "too much glue" and learns when he takes a flying leap onto his project that he probably should have listened. The outlandish story revolves around efforts to extract Matty from his glue straitjacket, which ultimately becomes its own artwork. The involved illustrations do it justice; too bad Matty's voice is not convincingly childlike.
