Glossy expanses of intense color provide the backdrop on which collage illustrations enact a tongue twister about three nonsensically named brothers who marry three equally outlandish sisters. The graphics are dramatic and unusual, in part because they show the merging of two interracial families, but the tongue twister proves too slight to sustain an entire book.
