His Mother's Nose

40 pp. | Dial | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2545-0 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Fed up with comparisons (he has his brother's hair, his uncle's head for numbers, etc.), Percival runs off, and his family's various body parts go missing, too. Meanwhile, his grandparents, who "always saw him as himself," show him family albums that prove there's "a little bit of everyone in everybody." The story's a bit long, but the art manages to be engagingly silly while clearly conveying family resemblances.
