(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carol Ashley. The titular carnival is a house of horrors. Tattoos come to life, devil's food cake is aptly named, and the teacup ride is more like a tempest. Tricky double meanings and surprising yet inevitable punch lines make these well-metered poems even more enjoyable than the "Scary-Go-Round." Illustrations use just enough light to show that this is a place of both fun and fear.
