(3) K-3 Illustrated by Vigg. "It looks like nothing happens in this book," says a smartly dressed mole-snouted narrator in a barren space. But then he spots a big shoe, a small car, and other clown accoutrements and realizes that something is happening. This is one of those meta picture books that builds toward something worth waiting for: a gatefold spread bursting with cartoony circus antics ("WOW!").
