(4) PS Illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler. In these verses, which read clumsily unless the reader learns their rhythm by listening to the accompanying CD, each of eleven characters is hungry, so the narrator promises him or her a custom-made pie. The verses get increasingly outrageous, as do the proportions of Ebbeler's exaggerated characters, rendered in acrylics and colored pencil. Music is included.
