(4) K-3 Illustrated by Hugh Murphy. After insisting that this book is about "nothing," an omniscient narrator riffs about, yes, nothing with the help of various animals. (For instance, to illustrate "chock-full of nothing," mice munch on cookies outside an empty jar.) Interactive humor (including the bathroom variety) abounds. The art, created with rudimentary lines and set against white space, looks as if nothing (much) went into it.
